Abstract
Various client devices include displays and one or more image capture devices configured to capture video data. If a user is exchanging content with another user via a client device and is subsequently identified by a receiving client device via image data captured by an image capture device of the receiving client device, the client device transfers the exchanged content with the other user to the receiving client device. The receiving client device includes information identifying one or more other client devices authorized to transfer exchanged content to the receiving client device when the receiving client device receives a request from the client device. If multiple other client devices are within a threshold distance of the receiving client device, the other client devices transfer exchanged content to the receiving client device, which combines the content from different other client devices.
