The present disclosure relates to providing a multi-user computer generated reality (“CGR”) session. In some embodiments, a first electronic device displays a CGR environment, wherein the CGR environment is responsive to input from the first electronic device and a second electronic device, wherein the second device is external to the first device. While displaying the CGR environment, the device obtains a first scene graph from a process executing on the first device, wherein the first scene graph includes information for rendering a first entity, and obtains a second scene graph from a process executing on the second device, wherein the second scene graph includes information for rendering a second entity. The first electronic device updates the displayed CGR environment based on the first scene graph and the second scene graph, wherein the displayed CGR environment includes a visual representation of the first and a visual representation of the second entity.
