Operating system level management of group communication sessions

A device comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor configured to:
• receive, by an operating system level process executing on the device and from an application process executing on the device, a request to initiate a group session between a user associated with the device and another user;
• identify, by the operating system level process, another device associated with the other user;
• initiate, by the operating system level process, the group session with the user via the other device at least in part by:
• determining a host environment in which to display the group session at the device and the other device;
• and
• initiating the group session within the host environment by displaying the host environment at the device;
• and
• manage, by the operating system level process, the group session at least in part by displaying application content, received from the application process, within the host environment.

A non-transitory machine readable medium comprising code that, when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, by an operating system level process executing on a device and from an application process executing on the device, a request to initiate a group session between a user associated with the device and another user;
• identifying, by the operating system level process, another device associated with the other user;
• initiating, by the operating system level process, the group session between the user and the other user via the other device at least in part by:
• determining a host environment in which to display the group session at the device and the other device;
• and
• initiating the group session within the host environment by displaying the host environment at the device;
• and
• managing, by the operating system level process, the group session at least in part by displaying application content, received from the application process, within the host environment.
