Methods and systems for communicating with rate control. A communication is sent and received from a first device to a second device over a network, wherein the communication comprises at least one audio stream and a second communication stream. A capacity of the network is probed at the first device for the sending and receiving the communication. A presence of a voice in the at least one audio stream is detected at the first device via a voice activity detection of the at least one audio stream. A rate limit is set for the sending and receiving the communication at the first device based on the capacity of the network and the detection of the presence of the at least one audio stream.

Rate control for a communication

A method for transferring an account associated with a first device to a second device is disclosed. The method includes: initiating, by the second device, a message intersession with a third party device; receiving, at the second device and from a server, an indication that the second device is using a known identity associated with the first device; and providing, by the second device, an instruction for transferring an account from the first device to the second device.

Transferring an account between devices

A method and system for enabling a first device to change a viewed image of at least one of the first device and a second device, during a video conference, are disclosed. The method includes: receiving a manipulation instruction, at a first device, for a selected target image, wherein the selected target image includes a portion of images displayed on a display of the first device during a video conference with a second device; comparing the manipulation instruction to an instruction store; and changing, on at least one of the first device and the second device, a view of the selected target image according to the manipulation instruction to achieve a manipulated selected target image.
