Abstract: Implementations of the subject technology provide systems and methods for providing nearby device invitations for electronic devices. Nearby device invitations from a first device can include encrypted invitations configured for trusted contacts, unencrypted invitations provided in response to a user request to invite all nearby devices, and/or a scannable code. The encrypted invitations and/or the unencrypted invitations can be broadcast using a short-range wireless communications protocol that limits the distance, from the broadcasting device, at which the invitations can be received. After providing the nearby device invitation in one or more of these ways, a resulting collaborative session between the first device and a second device can be managed via a server over a network.

Abstract: Implementations of the subject technology provide systems and methods for providing collaborative control by multiple electronic devices. Collaborative control may include providing, by a first device that is outputting content, such as audio content, an invitation to a second device to control the content that is being output by the first device. The content may be being output by the first device directly, or via a third device, such as a media output device. The media output device may be a speaker, a television, or other media output device. The second device may be provided with the ability to control the output of the first device while in proximity to the first device and/or the media output device. Control commands from the second device for controlling the output of the first device may be provided to the first device over a network.
