Abstract
Techniques for notification of a communication session in a different user experience are described. According to various implementations, a notification of an active communication session can be presented in a user experience that is not directly involved in the communication session. In at least some implementations, the session notification includes selectable functionality for enabling the particular user to join the communication session.
