    Abstract: A state of a multi-user communication session is saved in response to detection of an application state saving event, or a session state saving event. During runtime, application state saving events may be detected for each application executing during a session. Application state parameters are saved in response to each application state saving event, from which the application may be launched to the saved state. In response to a state saving event, the most recent application state information for each application executing in the session are collected and stored such that the multi-user communication session may be launched to the saved state, including each application executing in the session.

    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: Techniques for moving about a computer simulated reality (CSR) setting are disclosed. An example technique includes displaying a current view of the CSR setting, the current view depicting a current location of the CSR setting from a first perspective corresponding to a first determined direction. The technique further includes displaying a user interface element, the user interface element depicting a destination location not visible from the current location, and, in response to receiving input representing selection of the user interface element, modifying the display of the current view to display a destination view depicting the destination location, wherein modifying the display of the current view to display the destination view includes enlarging the user interface element.

    Abstract: In one implementation, a method of transferring the display of video content from a first location to a second location is performed at a first device including an image sensor, a first display, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes detecting a second device in a field-of-view of the image sensor displaying video content at a first location in the physical environment on a second display. The method includes detecting a transfer trigger to display the video content at a second location in the physical environment. The method includes, in response to detecting the transfer trigger, displaying, on the first display, a transfer animation of the video content being moved from the first location to the second location.

    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.
