Definitions
- the present disclosure relates generally to computer user interfaces, and more specifically to techniques for managing shared-content sessions.
- Computer systems can include hardware and/or software for displaying interfaces for various types of communication and information sharing.
- Some techniques for communication and information sharing using electronic devices are generally cumbersome and inefficient. For example, some existing techniques use a complex and time-consuming user interface, which may include multiple key presses or keystrokes. Existing techniques require more time than necessary, wasting user time and device energy. This latter consideration is particularly important in battery-operated devices.
- the present technique provides electronic devices with faster, more efficient methods and interfaces for managing shared-content sessions. Such methods and interfaces optionally complement or replace other methods for managing shared-content sessions. Such methods and interfaces reduce the cognitive burden on a user and produce a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, such methods and interfaces conserve power and increase the time between battery charges.
- a method is described. The method is performed at a computer system that is in communication with one or more output generation components and one or more input devices. The method comprises: detecting, via the one or more input devices, a first set of one or more inputs corresponding to a request to output content; and in response to detecting the first set of one or more inputs corresponding to a request to output the content: in accordance with a determination that there is an active shared-content session between the computer system and an external computer system, wherein the shared-content session, when active, enables the computer system to output respective content while the respective content is being output by the external computer system: outputting, via an output generation component of the one or more output generation components, a first notification that includes an indication that the content will be output by the external computer system when the content is output by the computer system; and outputting the content via an output generation component of the one or more output generation components.

- These components optionally communicate over one or more communication buses or signal lines 103.
- the term “intensity” of a contact on a touch-sensitive surface refers to the force or pressure (force per unit area) of a contact (e.g., a finger contact) on the touch-sensitive surface, or to a substitute (proxy) for the force or pressure of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface.
- the intensity of a contact has a range of values that includes at least four distinct values and more typically includes hundreds of distinct values (e.g., at least 256). Intensity of a contact is, optionally, determined (or measured) using various approaches and various sensors or combinations of sensors.

- the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are used directly to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is described in units corresponding to the substitute measurements).
- the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are converted to an estimated force or pressure, and the estimated force or pressure is used to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is a pressure threshold measured in units of pressure).

- the term “tactile output” refers to physical displacement of a device relative to a previous position of the device, physical displacement of a component (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface) of a device relative to another component (e.g., housing) of the device, or displacement of the component relative to a center of mass of the device that will be detected by a user with the user’s sense of touch.
- a component e.g., a touch-sensitive surface
- another component e.g., housing
- the tactile output generated by the physical displacement will be interpreted by the user as a tactile sensation corresponding to a perceived change in physical characteristics of the device or the component of the device.
- a touch-sensitive surface e.g., a touch-sensitive display or trackpad
- the user is, optionally, interpreted by the user as a “down click” or “up click” of a physical actuator button.
- a user will feel a tactile sensation such as an “down click” or “up click” even when there is no movement of a physical actuator button associated with the touch-sensitive surface that is physically pressed (e.g., displaced) by the user’s movements.
- movement of the touch-sensitive surface is, optionally, interpreted or sensed by the user as “roughness” of the touch-sensitive surface, even when there is no change in smoothness of the touch-sensitive surface. While such interpretations of touch by a user will be subject to the individualized sensory perceptions of the user, there are many sensory perceptions of touch that are common to a large majority of users.
- a tactile output is described as corresponding to a particular sensory perception of a user (e.g., an “up click,” a “down click,” “roughness”)

- Event sorter 170 includes event monitor 171 and event dispatcher module 174.
- application 136-1 includes application internal state 192, which indicates the current application view(s) displayed on touch-sensitive display 112 when the application is active or executing.
- device/global internal state 157 is used by event sorter 170 to determine which applications) is (are) currently active, and application internal state 192 is used by event sorter 170 to determine application views 191 to which to deliver event information.
- application internal state 192 includes additional information, such as one or more of: resume information to be used when application 136-1 resumes execution, user interface state information that indicates information being displayed or that is ready for display by application 136-1, a state queue for enabling the user to go back to a prior state or view of application 136-1, and a redo/undo queue of previous actions taken by the user.
- Event monitor 171 receives event information from peripherals interface 118.
- Event information includes information about a sub-event (e.g., a user touch on touch- sensitive display 112, as part of a multi-touch gesture).
- Peripherals interface 118 transmits information it receives from I/O subsystem 106 or a sensor, such as proximity sensor 166, accelerometers) 168, and/or microphone 113 (through audio circuitry 110).
- Information that peripherals interface 118 receives from I/O subsystem 106 includes information from touch- sensitive display 112 or a touch-sensitive surface.
- event monitor 171 sends requests to the peripherals interface 118 at predetermined intervals. In response, peripherals interface 118 transmits event information. In other embodiments, peripherals interface 118 transmits event information only when there is a significant event (e.g., receiving an input above a predetermined noise threshold and/or for more than a predetermined duration).
- event sorter 170 also includes a hit view determination module 172 and/or an active event recognizer determination module 173.
- Hit view determination module 172 provides software procedures for determining where a sub-event has taken place within one or more views when touch-sensitive display 112 displays more than one view. Views are made up of controls and other elements that a user can see on the display.
- FIG. 1 Another aspect of the user interface associated with an application is a set of views, sometimes herein called application views or user interface windows, in which information is displayed and touch-based gestures occur.
- the application views (of a respective application) in which a touch is detected optionally correspond to programmatic levels within a programmatic or view hierarchy of the application. For example, the lowest level view in which a touch is detected is, optionally, called the hit view, and the set of events that are recognized as proper inputs are, optionally, determined based, at least in part, on the hit view of the initial touch that begins a touch-based gesture.
- Hit view determination module 172 receives information related to sub-events of a touch-based gesture. When an application has multiple views organized in a hierarchy, hit view determination module 172 identifies a hit view as the lowest view in the hierarchy which should handle the sub-event. In most circumstances, the hit view is the lowest level view in which an initiating sub-event occurs (e.g., the first sub-event in the sequence of subevents that form an event or potential event). Once the hit view is identified by the hit view determination module 172, the hit view typically receives all sub-events related to the same touch or input source for which it was identified as the hit view.
- Active event recognizer determination module 173 determines which view or views within a view hierarchy should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In some embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that only the hit view should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that all views that include the physical location of a sub-event are actively involved views, and therefore determines that all actively involved views should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, even if touch sub-events were entirely confined to the area associated with one particular view, views higher in the hierarchy would still remain as actively involved views.
- Event dispatcher module 174 dispatches the event information to an event recognizer (e.g., event recognizer 180). In embodiments including active event recognizer determination module 173, event dispatcher module 174 delivers the event information to an event recognizer determined by active event recognizer determination module 173. In some embodiments, event dispatcher module 174 stores in an event queue the event information, which is retrieved by a respective event receiver 182.

- event comparator 184 includes event definitions 186.
- Event definitions 186 contain definitions of events (e.g., predefined sequences of sub-events), for example, event 1 (187-1), event 2 (187- 2), and others.
- sub-events in an event include, for example, touch begin, touch end, touch movement, touch cancellation, and multiple touching.
- the definition for event 1 is a double tap on a displayed object.
- the double tap for example, comprises a first touch (touch begin) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, a first liftoff (touch end) for a predetermined phase, a second touch (touch begin) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, and a second liftoff (touch end) for a predetermined phase.
- the definition for event 2 is a dragging on a displayed object.
- the dragging for example, comprises a touch (or contact) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, a movement of the touch across touch-sensitive display 112, and liftoff of the touch (touch end).
- the event also includes information for one or more associated event handlers 190.
- event definitions 186 include a definition of an event for a respective user-interface object.
- event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which user-interface object is associated with a sub-event. For example, in an application view in which three user-interface objects are displayed on touch-sensitive display 112, when a touch is detected on touch-sensitive display 112, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which of the three user-interface objects is associated with the touch (sub-event). If each displayed object is associated with a respective event handler 190, the event comparator uses the result of the hit test to determine which event handler 190 should be activated. For example, event comparator 184 selects an event handler associated with the sub-event and the object triggering the hit test.
- the definition for a respective event (187) also includes delayed actions that delay delivery of the event information until after it has been determined whether the sequence of sub-events does or does not correspond to the event recognizer’s event type.
- a respective event recognizer 180 determines that the series of sub-events do not match any of the events in event definitions 186, the respective event recognizer 180 enters an event impossible, event foiled, or event ended state, after which it disregards subsequent sub-events of the touch-based gesture. In this situation, other event recognizers, if any, that remain active for the hit view continue to track and process sub-events of an ongoing touch-based gesture.
- a respective event recognizer 180 includes metadata 183 with configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how the event delivery system should perform sub-event delivery to actively involved event recognizers.
- metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how event recognizers interact, or are enabled to interact, with one another.
- metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate whether sub-events are delivered to varying levels in the view or programmatic hierarchy.
- a respective event recognizer 180 activates event handler 190 associated with an event when one or more particular sub-events of an event are recognized.
- a respective event recognizer 180 delivers event information associated with the event to event handler 190.
- Activating an event handler 190 is distinct from sending (and deferred sending) sub-events to a respective hit view.
- event recognizer 180 throws a flag associated with the recognized event, and event handler 190 associated with the flag catches the flag and performs a predefined process.
- event delivery instructions 188 include sub-event delivery instructions that deliver event information about a sub-event without activating an event handler. Instead, the sub-event delivery instructions deliver event information to event handlers associated with the series of sub-events or to actively involved views. Event handlers associated with the series of sub-events or with actively involved views receive the event information and perform a predetermined process.
- data updater 176 creates and updates data used in application 136-1. For example, data updater 176 updates the telephone number used in contacts module 137, or stores a video file used in video player module.
- object updater 177 creates and updates objects used in application 136-1. For example, object updater 177 creates a new user-interface object or updates the position of a user-interface object.
- GUI updater 178 updates the GUI. For example, GUI updater 178 prepares display information and sends it to graphics module 132 for display on a touch- sensitive display.
- event handlers) 190 includes or has access to data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178.
- data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178 are included in a single module of a respective application 136-1 or application view 191. In other embodiments, they are included in two or more software modules.
- event handling of user touches on touch-sensitive displays also applies to other forms of user inputs to operate multifunction devices 100 with input devices, not all of which are initiated on touch screens.

- a touch-sensitive surface e.g., touchpad 355 in FIG. 3 or touch-sensitive surface 451 in FIG. 4B
- a particular user interface element e.g., a button, window, slider, or other user interface element
- a detected contact on the touch screen acts as a “focus selector” so that when an input (e.g., a press input by the contact) is detected on the touch screen display at a location of a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider, or other user interface element), the particular user interface element is adjusted in accordance with the detected input.
- an input e.g., a press input by the contact
- a particular user interface element e.g., a button, window, slider, or other user interface element
- focus is moved from one region of a user interface to another region of the user interface without corresponding movement of a cursor or movement of a contact on a touch screen display (e.g., by using a tab key or arrow keys to move focus from one button to another button); in these implementations, the focus selector moves in accordance with movement of focus between different regions of the user interface.
- the focus selector is generally the user interface element (or contact on a touch screen display) that is controlled by the user so as to communicate the user’s intended interaction with the user interface (e.g., by indicating, to the device, the element of the user interface with which the user is intending to interact).
- a focus selector e.g., a cursor, a contact, or a selection box

- the duration of the contact is used in determining the characteristic intensity (e.g., when the characteristic intensity is an average of the intensity of the contact over time).
- the characteristic intensity is compared to a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an operation has been performed by a user.
- the set of one or more intensity thresholds optionally includes a first intensity threshold and a second intensity threshold.
- a contact with a characteristic intensity that does not exceed the first threshold results in a first operation
- a contact with a characteristic intensity that exceeds the first intensity threshold and does not exceed the second intensity threshold results in a second operation
- a contact with a characteristic intensity that exceeds the second threshold results in a third operation.
- a comparison between the characteristic intensity and one or more thresholds is used to determine whether or not to perform one or more operations (e.g., whether to perform a respective operation or forgo performing the respective operation), rather than being used to determine whether to perform a first operation or a second operation.
- an “installed application” refers to a software application that has been downloaded onto an electronic device (e.g., devices 100, 300, and/or 500) and is ready to be launched (e.g., become opened) on the device.

- open application or “executing application” refer to a software application with retained state information (e.g., as part of device/global internal state 157 and/or application internal state 192).
- An open or executing application is, optionally, any one of the following types of applications:
- a suspended or hibernated application which is not running, but has state information that is stored in memory (volatile and non-volatile, respectively) and that can be used to resume execution of the application.
- the term “closed application” refers to software applications without retained state information (e.g., state information for closed applications is not stored in a memory of the device). Accordingly, closing an application includes stopping and/or removing application processes for the application and removing state information for the application from the memory of the device.
- opening a second application while in a first application does not close the first application. When the second application is displayed and the first application ceases to be displayed, the first application becomes a background application.

- the respective content is screen-share content.
- the content of a host device’s displayed screen is shared with participants of the shared-content session such that the participants can view, at their respective devices, the screen content of the host device (the sharing device, or, the device whose screen content is being shared), including any changes to the displayed screen content, in real time.
- the respective content is synchronized content that is output concurrently at the respective devices of the participants of the shared-content session.
- the respective devices of the participants separately access the respective content (e.g., a video, a movie, a TV show, and/or a song) from a remote server and/or local memory and are synchronized in their respective output of the content such that the content is output (e.g., via an application local to the respective devices) concurrently at the respective devices as each device separately accesses the respective content from the remote servers) and/or local memory.
- the respective devices exchange information (e.g., via a server) to facilitate synchronization.
- the respective devices can share play state and/or playback location information of the content, as well as indications of local commands (e.g., play, pause, stop, fast forward, and/or rewind) in order to implement the commands on the output of the content on other devices.
- Sharing play state and/or playback location information is more efficient and effective for synchronizing the content at the respective devices, because the host device is not transmitting the content to the respective devices, but rather, smaller data packets containing the play state and/or playback location information.
- each respective device outputs the content at a size and quality that is appropriate for the respective device and connectivity (e.g., data connection conditions such as data transmission and/or processing speeds) of the device, thereby providing a more customized, yet synchronized, playback experience at each of the respective devices.
- an application or “app” is available (e.g., downloaded and/or installed) at a respective device to enable the device to participate in shared-content sessions.
- share is used generally to refer to a situation in which content (e.g., screen-share content and/or synchronized content) is, or is capable of, being output (e.g., viewed and/or played) concurrently at multiple devices that are participating in a shared-content session. Unless specifically noted otherwise, these terms do not require that the content being “shared” is transmitted from any particular device participating in the shared-content session to any of the other devices with which the content is being shared.
- the content that is being shared in the shared-content session is content that is separately accessed by each respective device, for example, from a remote server or another source other than one of the devices participating in the shared-content session.
- media content such as a movie
- the movie is said to be shared with the participants, even though the respective participants are accessing (e.g., from a movie application) and playing the movie separate from (but concurrently with) the other participants in the shared-content session.
- screen-share content is shared with participants of the shared-content session by transmitting, from a host device, image data representing content displayed on a display screen of the host device to other devices participating in the shared-content session.
- one or more audio channels are active (e.g., open) during the shared-content session such that participants of the shared-content session can speak to one another in real time while the shared-content session is ongoing and, optionally, while content is being shared (e.g., screen-share content and/or synchronized content) via the shared-content session.
- one or more video channels are open (e.g., via a video conferencing application that is local to respective devices) such that participants of the shared-content session can participate in a live video communication (e.g., video chat) while the shared-content session is ongoing and, optionally, while content is being shared via the shared-content session.

- John’s device 6000A displays notification 6098 in response to detecting John speaking while the mic is muted. Notification 6098 and a notification similar to notification 6086 were suppressed (e.g., stored in a queue) on John’s device 6000A while control region 6015A was displayed. However, because control region 6015A is no longer displayed in FIG. 6S, John’s device 6000A displays notifications that were previously suppressed and are not stale (e.g., expired or irrelevant). Notification 6098 and notification 6086 (displayed on Jane’s device) are not stale because the conditions triggering their display remains true, and, optionally, the time allotted for displaying the notifications has not expired.
- John’s device 6000A displays notifications based on a priority attributed to the respective notifications such that a notification having highest priority is displayed first for a predetermined amount of time, and is then dismissed. Subsequently, a notification having the next-highest priority is displayed and then dismissed.
- notification 6098 is attributed a higher priority than notifications announcing a participant leaving the shared-content session. Therefore, when John’s device 6000A hides control region 6015A, it displays notification 6098, but not a notification announcing that Ryan left the shared-content session.
- a priority of notifications stored in the queue can change overtime (e.g., the notification can become stale).
- notifications are prioritized in different tiers based on the type of the notification. For example, notifications triggered by user action are attributed a highest level of priority (e.g., Tier 1). Examples of user actions that trigger Tier 1 notifications include interactions with elements of control region 6015 (e.g., audio routing, microphone on/off, camera on/off, local screen sharing on/off). Notifications indicating that the microphone is muted are, in some embodiments, attributed a medium level of priority (e.g., Tier 2). Notification 6098 is an example of a Tier 2 notification.
- a highest level of priority e.g., Tier 1
- Examples of user actions that trigger Tier 1 notifications include interactions with elements of control region 6015 (e.g., audio routing, microphone on/off, camera on/off, local screen sharing on/off).
- Notifications indicating that the microphone is muted are, in some embodiments, attributed a medium level of priority (e.g., Tier 2).
- Notification 6098 is an example of a Tier 2 notification.
- notifications that are automatically triggered based on activity in the shared- content session are attributed a lower level of priority (e.g., Tier 3).
- Tier 2 notifications can include account updates (e.g., announcing that a user joined the shared- content session), notifications that content is playing only for the user of the device, notifications for applications supporting the shared-content session application, playback actions, queue actions, remote screen-sharing actions, and reminder notifications related to the shared-content session (e.g., a reminder that members of the shared-content session are still playing content after the user stops playing private content).
- some types of notifications replace one another when they are displayed. For example, notifications that content is “playing only for me,” notifications associated with apps that support shared-content sessions, playback actions, queue actions, remote screen-sharing actions, and reminder notifications related to the shared-content session replace one another and, in some embodiments, expire after three seconds. In some embodiments, some notifications can be coalesced and, optionally have no expiration. For example, if five users join a shared-content session, a single notification can be displayed that says a user and four others joined.
- notifications related to playback actions, queue actions, and remote sharing actions have a higher priority than reminder notifications related to the shared-content session.
- notifications for apps that support shared- content sessions have a higher priority than notifications related to playback actions, queue actions, and remote sharing actions.
- notifications that content is “playing only for me” have a higher priority than notifications for apps that support shared- content sessions.
- notifications related to account updates have a higher priority than notifications that content is “playing only for me.”
- John’s device 6000A displays screen-share window 6070 in an enlarged, expanded and/or full-screen state (or using all of the screen outside of a portion of the screen designated for system status information and/or system controls), thereby presenting a foil screen view of Jane’s screen.
- Control region 6015A is again displayed when screen-share window 6070 is enlarged, indicating in control region status region 6015A-1 that Jane is sharing her screen with members of the Mountaineers group.

In some embodiments (e.g., after video tile 6642-1 has been displayed concurrently with media PiP 6150A), John’s device 6000A does not expand the tile with Jane’s video feed (e.g., tile 6642-1) to avoid frequent shifts in the layout of the video tiles in the user interface.
- FIGS. 6EK and 6EL illustrate an embodiment where Jane closes the video conference application while content is being shared in the shared-content session with the Mountaineers group.
- devices 6000 are displaying video conference interfaces 6170 while displaying shared content in media PiPs 6150. While the shared content continues to play, Jane closes the video conference application via input 6692. In response, Jane leaves the video conference session, but continues to play the shared content with the group (or, in some embodiments, continues to play the content at Jane’s device, but with the content no longer being kept in sync with the playback of content in the Mountaineers group).
- Jane’s device stops playing the shared content (e.g., stops displaying media PiP 6150B) and, optionally, leaves the shared-content session. Because Jane left the video conference session, John’s device 6000A no longer displays Jane’s tile (e.g., tile 6642-1) in FIG. 6EL and expands Ryan’s tile, tile 6642-2, and camera preview 6645 A, while continuing to display the shared content in media PiP 6150A. Jane’s device 6000B displays home screen 6088 and continues to play the shared content in media PiP 6150B, which includes mini PiP 6243 with Ryan’s video feed.
- Jane’s device 6000A displays home screen 6088 and continues to play the shared content in media PiP 6150B, which includes mini PiP 6243 with Ryan’s video feed.
- a video PiP or mini PiP (e.g., mini PiP 6243) is displayed with media PiP 6150 while the shared-content session is active, even if the content being played in media PiP 6150 is different from the content being played in the shared-content session.
- FIGS. 6EM-6EO illustrate an embodiment where Jane accesses, from an interface that is not part of the shared-content session interface, content being shared in a shared- content session with the Mountaineers group.
- Jane is in a shared- content session with the Mountaineers group. The group is watching First Episode, but Jane is not currently watching First Episode with the group. Instead, Jane’s device 6000B is displaying media application interface 6695, which is an interface of an application that is not part of the shared-content interface and can be used for playing media content (e.g., similar to interface 6130).
- Jane’s device 6000B starts playing First Episode with the Mountaineers group.
- Jane’s device starts First Episode at the same position (e.g., time or moment) of the show that is being watched by the Mountaineers group so that she is playing the content concurrently with the Mountaineers group.
- John’s device 6000A displays Jane’s video feed in mini PiP 6295 because Jane is the most recently active participant of the shared-content session and displays notification 6698 indicating that Jane started watching First Episode with the Mountaineers group.
- Jane’s device 6000B displays notification 6700 indicating that Jane started watching First Episode with the Mountaineers group.
- input 6696 (optionally with additional inputs to start playback of the show) starts playback of First Episode from the beginning of the show or at a location in the show where Jane previously stopped watching.
- Jane’s device displays a prompt asking if Jane wants to play the content for the group or only herself (e.g., prompt 6686 as shown in FIG. 6EG).
- Jane’s device 6000B plays the content without adding the content to the shared-content session and without prompting Jane to share the content with the Mountaineers group.
- FIGS. 6EP and 6EQ illustrate John’s device displaying various settings interfaces for adjusting settings associated with shared-content sessions.
- John’s device 6000A displays settings interface 6702 of a settings application.

- Shared-content session settings interface 6708 includes toggle 6710, which is selectable to enable/disable a global shared- content session setting. When toggle 6710 is disabled, John’s device 6000A does not add content to a shared-content session (e.g., when selecting content for playback).
- John’s device 6000A when toggle 6710 is disabled, John’s device 6000A does not display various notifications associated with sharing content in a shared-content session. For example, notification 6210 is not displayed when media interface 6130 is displayed or the text on various play affordances such as play option 6144 does not indicate that content can or will be played in a shared-content session. In some embodiments, device 6000 continues to display other indications that content can be shared such as, for example, glyph 6132.
- Shared-content session settings interface 6708 also includes application options 6712, which include toggles 6714-1 to 6714-7 that are selectable to control whether content associated with a respective application is automatically added to a shared-content session.
- the respective applications include applications that are capable of streaming content (e.g., media content, music, videos, and/or video games).
- toggles 6714-1 to 6714-7 When a respective one of toggles 6714-1 to 6714-7 is enabled, shareable content accessed from the corresponding application is automatically added to a shared-content session.
- toggles 6714-1 to 6714-7 When a respective one of toggles 6714-1 to 6714-7 is disabled, shareable content accessed from the corresponding application is not automatically added to the shared-content session and, instead, the user is given an option to add the content to a shared-content session or to play the content without adding the content to the shared-content session (e.g., similar to prompt 6220 in FIGS. 6AO, 6BX, 6CB, or 6CO, or prompt 6686 in FIG. 6EG).
- FIG. 6EQ toggle

- Outputting the notification of the second event with or without the notification of the first event in accordance with a determination of whether or not the notification-suppression criteria is met reduces the computational workload of the computer system and improves user feedback by eliminating display of the notification of the first event if the notification-suppression criteria is met (e.g., when the first notification becomes irrelevant before it is displayed). Reducing computational workload of the computer system and providing improved feedback enhances the operability of the computer system and makes the user-system interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the system more quickly and efficiently.
- the computer system receives an indication that a third event (e.g., a user has joined the shared-content session, a participant has left the shared- content session) that meets second notification criteria (e.g., the action is a type of event for which a notification is to be displayed, unless other criteria are met) has occurred in the shared-content session.
- the computer system receives an indication that a fourth event that meets the second notification criteria has occurred in the shared- content session (e.g., after receiving the indication that the third event that meets the notification criteria has occurred in the shared-content session).

- a second notification e.g., 6028 in FIG. 6F
- a third notification e.g., 6086
- Outputting the first notification in accordance with a determination that the notification-aggregation criteria are met, and outputting the second notification and the third notification in accordance with a determination that the notification-aggregation criteria are not met reduces the computational workload of the computer system and improves user feedback by aggregating notifications, thereby eliminating excessive display of notifications when the notification-aggregation criteria are met (e.g., when the third event and fourth event are a same type of event).

- the first set of play criteria includes a criterion that is satisfied if the request to output the sixth content occurs in the same shared-content session (e.g., a shared-content session that has not been concurrently disconnected for all participants (e.g., computer systems) of the shared-content session; a shared-content session that has maintained at least one connected participant since being initiated; and/or a shared-content session that has not been ended for all participants) as the request to output the fifth content
- the second set of play criteria includes a criterion that is satisfied if the request to output the sixth content occurs in the same shared-content session as the request to output the fifth content.
- a shared-content session persists until all participants of the shared-content session are concurrently disconnected from the shared-content session (e.g., the shared-content session terminates when there are no participants).
- a participant of the shared-content session can leave and rejoin the same shared-content session (e.g., as long as the shared-content session has maintained at least one participant in the session).

- the request to output the sixth content corresponds to a request to output the sixth content in a second application (e.g., a single application; a plurality of applications; or all applications) that is different from the first application (e.g., the option selected for playing the fifth content in the first application is applied to requests to play content in other applications (e.g., one or more applications; all applications); the first set of play criteria and the second set of play criteria do not depend on the application in which the sixth content is requested to be played).
- a second application e.g., a single application; a plurality of applications; or all applications
- the computer system remembers or stores a play option selected in a particular application and applies it to subsequent requests to output content for all applications (e.g., the response to the request to output the sixth content is based on the play option selected previously for the fifth content regardless of the application associated with the sixth content).
- the request to output the sixth content occurs in a different shared-content session from the request to output the fifth content (e.g., the option selected for playing the fifth content in the first application is applied to requests to play content in other shared-content sessions; the first set of play criteria and the second set of play criteria do not depend on the shared-content session in which the sixth content is requested to be add or played).
- the computer system remembers or stores a play option selected in a particular shared-content session and applies it to subsequent requests to output content for all shared-content sessions (e.g., the response to the request to output the sixth content is based on the play option selected previously for the fifth content regardless of the shared-content session in which the request to output the sixth content occurred).
- the computer system detects a request to launch a third application (e.g., the first application, an application different from the first application); and in response to detecting the request to launch the third application, launching the third application and displaying (e.g., in the third application) a play setting indicator (e.g., a notification) that indicates that a play option selected by the first option selection input will be applied in response to a request to output content in the third application.

- Displaying a notification that the first content has been added to the shared-content session without outputting the first content at the computer system in accordance with a determination that the content output criteria are not met provides feedback to a user of the computer system about the first content has been added to the shared-content session when the content output criteria are not met.
- Providing improved feedback enhances the operability of the computer system and makes the user-system interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the system more quickly and efficiently.
- the computer system (e.g., 6000B) outputting the first content includes the computer system (e.g., 6000B) outputting the first content in a window (e.g., 6150B) that is overlaid on a portion of a user interface (e.g., 6170B) that is concurrently output by an output generation component of the one or more output generation components (e.g., 6001B).
- the first content is output in the foreground (e.g., in front of all other currently output content (e.g., other windows or user interfaces)).
- the content output criteria are based on whether (e.g., are met if the sufficient conditions are met including a necessary condition that specifies that) an application that is able to output the content (e.g., an application associated with or required to output the first content) is available on (e.g., currently stored on, currently downloaded to) the computer system (e.g., FIGS. 6BX-6CA).
- the content output criteria are not met if the application is not available on the computer system.
- the content output criteria are not met if the application is available on the computer system, but the user is not signed-in to the application and/or the user’s subscription is not current or valid.
- the content output criteria are based on whether (e.g., are met if the sufficient conditions are met including a necessary condition that specifies that) the computer system (e.g., 6000B) can access (e.g., is logged into) a subscription service that provides access to (e.g., required to output, allows access to) the first content (e.g., FIGS. 6CB-6CH).

In some embodiments, the content output criteria are not met if the user is not signed-in to the application and/or the user’s subscription is not current or valid.
- the content output criteria are based on a type of content sharing (e.g., a manner in which content is to be shared, screen sharing, audio sharing, video sharing, music sharing, and/or synchronized content sharing).
- the content output criteria are met if the first content is requested to be added to the shared- content session according to a first type of content sharing (e.g., screen sharing).
- the content output criteria are not met if the first content is requested to be added to the shared-content session according to a second type of content sharing (e.g., synchronized content sharing) that is different from the first type of content sharing.
- outputting the first content includes outputting the first content at a first quality (e.g., resolution, update rate, and/or data rate) when (e.g., in accordance with a determination that) the first content is added to the shared-content session according to a first type of content sharing (e.g., screen sharing), and outputting the first content at a second quality (e.g., lower quality than the first quality, higher quality than the first quality) that is different from the first quality when (e.g., in accordance with a determination that) the first content is added to the shared-content session according to a second type of content sharing (e.g., media (e.g., video, audio, and/or music) sharing, and/or synchronized content sharing).
- a first quality e.g., resolution, update rate, and/or data rate
- a second quality e.g., lower quality than the first quality, higher quality than the first quality
