    Abstract: The disclosure pertains to techniques for collaborating in a multi user communications environment. One such technique includes receiving, at a first communication device, data associated with a multi user communication session between a first user of the first communication device and a second user of a second communication device, presenting, at the first communication device, a non-extended reality graphical user interface (GUI), the non-extended reality GUI including a non-extended reality representation of a virtual object included in the multi user communication session and a representation of the second user based on the data associated with the multi user communication session, and updating, at the first communication device, the non-extended reality GUI to illustrate an interaction between the representation of the second user and the virtual object in response to the data indicating the interaction.

    Abstract: Facilitating collaboration in a multiuser communication session includes detecting initiation of an interaction between a user of a first device and a virtual object in a multiuser communication session, where the first device and a second device are active in the multiuser communication session, and where state information is synchronized among the first device and second device in the multiuser communication session. In accordance with detecting the initiation of an interaction between the user and the virtual object, synchronization of state information is suspended by the first device, where the state information is related to the interaction between the user and the virtual object. A representation of the multiuser communication session at the first device and a representation of the multiuser communication session at the second device are inconsistent in accordance with the suspended synchronization of the state information.

    Abstract: The disclosure pertains to techniques for collaborating in a multiuser communication session, including, at a first device, receiving a request to launch a first application in a multiuser communication session with a second device; presenting an environment of the first application in the multiuser communication session; receiving, by one or more processes of the multiuser communication session, data from the first user, the data including input data and first communications data; providing, by the one or more processes, the input data to the first application; providing, by the one or more processes, the first communications data to the second device; receiving, by the one or more processes, second communications data from the second device; and presenting, by the one or more processes, the second communications data in the environment of the first application, wherein the first application is restricted from accessing the first communications data and second communications data.

    Abstract: Some examples of the disclosure are directed to systems and methods for presenting content in a three-dimensional environment by one or more electronic devices in a multi-user communication session. In some examples, a first electronic device and a second electronic device are communicatively linked in a multi-user communication session, wherein the first electronic device and the second electronic device are configured to display a three-dimensional environment, respectively. In some examples, the first electronic device and the second electronic device are grouped in a first spatial group within the multi-user communication session. In some examples, if the second electronic device determines that the first electronic device changes states (and/or vice versa), the user of the first electronic device and the user of the second electronic device are no longer grouped into the same spatial group within the multi-user communication session.

    Abstract: Some examples of the disclosure are directed to systems and methods for facilitating display of content and avatars in a multi-communication session including a first electronic device and a second electronic device. In some examples, the first electronic device presents a computer-generated environment including an avatar corresponding to a user of the second electronic device and a first object, wherein the computer-generated environment is presented based on a first set of display parameters satisfying a first set of criteria, including a spatial parameter for the user of the second electronic device, a spatial parameter for the first object, and a display mode parameter for the first object. In response to detecting a change in one or more of the first set of display parameters, the first electronic device updates presentation of the computer-generated environment in accordance with the one or more changes of the first set of display parameters.
