Abstract
A computer-implemented technique can include receiving, at a server from an inviter computing device associated with an inviter user, a request to have a communication session with a plurality of invitee users at a scheduled time. The technique can include determining a time zone of each invitee user, and determining that a specific time zone of a specific invitee user differs by more than a predetermined amount from the time zone of the inviter user. The technique can include providing a time-shifted invitation to a specific invitee computing device associated with the specific invitee user, the time-shifted invitation being for a delayed time that is appropriate for the specific invitee user. The technique can also include receiving an audio/video communication stream corresponding to the communication session beginning at the scheduled time, and providing the audio/video communication stream to the specific invitee computing device at the delayed time.
