Aspects of the subject technology provide for secure, privacy-preserving access to electronic conferencing. In one or more implementations, participant devices in a conferencing session may be provided with the ability to expel one or more other participant devices from the conferencing session, even when the participant device(s) are not hosts or cohosts of the conferencing session. A participant device may be expellable by another participant device based on a connection mechanism by which the participant device is connected to the conferencing session, and/or based on an amount of time since the participant device joined the conferencing session.

Electronic conferencing

Devices, methods, and non-transitory program storage devices are disclosed to enable the automatic establishment of a secure audio/video data streaming connection between electronic devices. For example, a first electronic device may enter into a first state of a peer device advertising protocol, and then, based on a determination that the first electronic device meets a first set of device state criteria (e.g., including at least an orientation state criterion), the first electronic device may enter into a second (e.g., enhanced) state of the peer device advertising protocol. In response to detecting a presence of a second electronic device in its proximity, the first electronic device may connect to the second electronic device via a secure peer-to-peer connection protocol and then send one or more images captured by a first image capture device of the first electronic device to the connected second electronic device via the secure wireless peer-to-peer connection protocol.

Framework for automatically establishing secure connections for streaming audio and video data between devices based on device state criteria

Aspects of the subject technology provide for secure, privacy-preserving access to electronic conferencing. In one or more implementations, a device may obtain a link that corresponds to a call with a second device, encrypt a request to join the call using a key obtained using the link, and send the encrypted request to a server for delivery to the second device. The link may also include information used to identify an alias for an account associated with the second device. The device may send the encrypted request to the server with the alias. The device may receive an encrypted response to the request from the server, obtain an identifier of the call from the encrypted response, and then receive an invitation to join the call associated with the identifier.

The present disclosure generally relates to synchronizing copies of a data object.

Group activity session synchronization

Aspects of the subject technology provide for secure, privacy-preserving access to electronic conferencing. In one or more implementations, an electronic device associated with an account can generate links, such as links for joining an electronic conferencing session. In some use cases, multiple electronic devices can be associated with the same account. Aspects of the subject technology provide for synchronization of links generated by multiple electronic devices associated with the same account.
