Abstract: A group communications platform facilitates that sharing of an application environment with other users. The platform may receive a request to initiate a group session for a local user and a remote user. An out-of-process network connection with a system communication channel between a local computing device associated with the local user and a remote computing device associated with the remote user may be established for the group session. A system call may be received from a local instance of a first application on the local computing device to transfer local data to a remote instance of the first application on the remote computing device via the out-of-process network connection. The local data may be transferred to the remote instance of the first application on the remote computing device via the out-of-process network connection and the system communication channel. The local data may include state data of the local instance of the first application for updating a state of the remote instance of the first application.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology provide for shared experience sessions within a group communications session such as a video call. The shared experience session may be, as one example, a co-watching session in which the participants in the call watch a video together while in the call. Encrypted shared state data may be exchanged between the participant devices, with which the participant devices can provide synchronized and coordinated output of shared experience data for the shared experience session of the group communications session.
