A method performed by a network node, for handling an outgoing call from a first user in a communications network. The network node receives a request for the outgoing call to be set up via a first persona out of multiple personas associated with the first user, which request is obtained as a voice instruction from the first user via a Digital Assistant device. The voice instruction comprises a personalized name associated with the first persona of the first user. The network node identifies among the multiple personas associated with the first user, an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) user ID corresponding to the first persona based on the personalized name received in the voice instruction. The network node sends to an IMS node in the communications network, the identified IMS user ID, and a request to initiate the outgoing call via the first persona of the first user.

Network node, IMS node and methods in a communications network

A network node for handling access to sharing media in a media session in an Over The Top (OTT) Digital Assistant (DA). The media shall be shared between a first participant A and a second participant B in a communications network. The first participant A has access to sharing media in the media session in the OTT DA. The network node receives a request for access from the OTT DA. The request for access relates to the first participant A requesting access for the second participant B to sharing media in the media session in the OTT DA. The network node forwards the request to an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) node in the communications network, to trigger the IMS node to switch on the sharing of media in the media session in the OTT DA for the second participant B, when authorised by the participant B.
