1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
responsive to a virtual meeting chair starting a virtual meeting on a virtual meeting platform with one or more participants, recording, by one or more processors, the virtual meeting;
responsive to the virtual meeting chair ending the virtual meeting on the virtual meeting platform with an incomplete task, creating, by the one or more processors, an augmented recording of the virtual meeting, wherein the augmented recording includes a timeline composed of a plurality of timeline markers, wherein a timeline marker is associated with a conversation that occurs at a contextual conversation point during the virtual meeting;
enabling, by the one or more processors, a post-meeting collaboration enabled conversation between the virtual meeting chair and a nonparticipant to complete the incomplete task, wherein enabling the post-meeting collaboration enabled conversation further comprises:
enabling, by the one or more processors, the nonparticipant to open the augmented recording of the virtual meeting;
enabling, by the one or more processors, the nonparticipant to resume the augmented recording of the virtual meeting;
capturing, by the one or more processors, a required input associated with the incomplete task from the nonparticipant;
determining, by the one or more processors, whether a second input is required from the nonparticipant at a second timeline marker;
responsive to determining the second input is not required from the nonparticipant at the second timeline marker, determining, by the one or more processors, whether the nonparticipant has a question for the virtual meeting chair;
responsive to determining the nonparticipant has a first question for the virtual meeting chair, enabling, by the one or more processors, the nonparticipant to ask the virtual meeting chair the first question;
adding, by the one or more processors, a timeline marker associated with the first question to the augmented recording;
sending, by the one or more processors, an alert notification to the virtual meeting chair regarding the new timeline marker associated with the first question to the augmented recording added;
enabling, by the one or more processors, the virtual meeting chair to join the post-meeting collaboration enabled conversation with the nonparticipant;
enabling, by the one or more processors, the virtual meeting chair to answer the first question;
determining, by the one or more processors, whether the nonparticipant has a second question for the virtual meeting chair; and
responsive to determining the nonparticipant does not have the second question for the virtual meeting chair and responsive to determining that a goal of the virtual meeting has been met, ending, by the one or more processors, the post-meeting collaboration enabled conversation;
requesting, by the one or more processors, feedback on a timeline marker response associated with the incomplete task from a timeline marker creator; and
responsive to receiving the feedback on the timeline marker response-associated with the incomplete task from the timeline marker creator, applying, by the one or more processors, the feedback to the timeline marker response.
