    Abstract: The disclosure pertains to techniques for collaborating in a multiuser communications environment. One such technique comprises receiving a request from a first device to launch an application in a multiuser communication session with a second device, wherein the request includes an indication of data to be made available in the multiuser communication session and providing the multiuser version of the application to the first device based on the data, wherein the multiuser version of the application provides access to the indicated data, and wherein the multiuser version of the application provides shared functionality between the first device and the second device.

    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: Some examples of the disclosure are directed to systems and methods for managing locations of users in a spatial group within a communication session based on the display of shared content in a three-dimensional environment. In some examples, a first electronic device and a second electronic device are in communication within a communication session. In some examples, the first electronic device displays a three-dimensional environment including an avatar corresponding to a user of the second electronic device. In some examples, in response to detecting an input corresponding to a request to display shared content in the three-dimensional environment, if the shared content is a first type of content, the first electronic positions the avatar a first distance away from the viewpoint, and if the shared content is a second type of content, the first electronic device positions the avatar a second distance away from the viewpoint.

    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.
