Abstract

This disclosure is directed to engaging in a communications session, such as an audio call, video call, and/or an audio/video (A/V) call, using a first user equipment (UE) and then seamlessly switching to a second UE while the communications session is in progress. The A/V call system may be configured to provide an indication to the first UE of other UEs that may be registered with it using a common user account. The first UE may enable a user to select another of his or her UEs to transfer the ongoing communications session. The first UE may send the A/V call system a request to transfer of the communications session. The A/V system may add the second UE to the communications session and disengage the first UE from the communications session.
