Presentation of computing environment on multiple devices

An auxiliary device of a device collection that collectively presents to a user a primary computing environment hosted by a primary device, the auxiliary device comprising:

• a processor;
• an output component;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, provide:
• a primary device communicator that:
• transmits, to the primary device, a request to execute a second application for the auxiliary device while the primary device concurrently executes a first application on behalf of another device of the device collection;
• and
• an auxiliary computing environment presenter that:
• receives, from the primary device, a stream of a presentation of the auxiliary computing environment that is adapted to a set of properties of the auxiliary device, and that includes the instance of the second application while excluding the instance of the first application that is executed by the primary device on behalf of the first auxiliary device;
• and
• presents the auxiliary computing environment to the user through the output component.

A primary device that present a primary computing environment to a user through a device collection, the server comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the primary device to:
• execute a set of running applications on behalf of the device collection, wherein the set of applications executed by the primary device includes an instance of a first application that is executed on behalf of a first auxiliary device;
• fulfill a request to execute a second application for a second auxiliary device by inserting an instance of the second application into the set of running applications;
• and
• stream, to the second auxiliary device, a presentation of the auxiliary computing environment that is adapted to a set of properties of the second auxiliary device, and that includes the instance of the second application while excluding the instance of the first application that is executed by the primary device on behalf of the first auxiliary device.
