Abstract
A computer implemented technique can include receiving a level of granularity for displaying non-chat activity indicators and initiating a real-time communication session between first and second computing devices. The technique can also include during the real-time communication session, automatically: (i) detecting non-chat activity by a first user at the first computing device, the non-chat activity being activity by the first user at the first computing device that is outside of a primary function of the real-time communication session, (ii) determining a type of the detected non-chat activity, (iii) determining an indicator of the type of the detected non-chat activity based on a level of granularity, and (iv) outputting the indicator to the second computing device, which is associated with the second user, wherein receipt of the indicator causes the second computing device to display the indicator via the real-time communication session.
