Patent attributes
Computer-implemented techniques can include initializing, by a server and with a first computing device, a real-time communication session, wherein the first computing device is connected to a media system, receiving, from at least one of the first computing device and a mobile computing device, authentication information for a user associated with the mobile computing device, the authentication information being indicative of the mobile computing device being in short-range wireless communication with the first computing device, associating the user with the real-time communication session, detecting that a second computing device that is associated with the user is logged into a same account as the mobile computing device, and in response to the associating and the detecting, transmitting, to the second computing device, instructions that cause the second computing device to display a user interface element associated with the real-time communication session.
