1. A system comprising:
a non-transitory computer-readable medium;
a communications interface; and
a processor communicatively coupled to the non-transitory computer-readable medium and the communications interface, the processor configured to execute processor-executable instructions stored in the non-transitory computer-readable medium to:
establish a virtual collaborative workspace, the virtual collaborative workspace configured to maintain one or more virtual collaborative workspace resources and enable one or more users to interact with other users or virtual collaborative workspace resources within the virtual collaborative workspace;
receive, via the communications interface and from a client device associated with a first user associated with the virtual collaborative workspace, an identification of an application to use in the virtual collaborative workspace;
based on the receiving, add the application to the virtual collaborative workspace and configure the application to access one or more resources associated with the virtual collaborative workspace; and
provide, via the communications interface, access to the application within the virtual collaborative workspace to at least a subset of the users associated with the virtual collaborative workspace.
