Zusammenfassung:Implementations of the subject technology provide systems and methods for providing nearby device invitations for electronic devices. Nearby device invitations from a first device can include encrypted invitations configured for trusted contacts, unencrypted invitations provided in response to a user request to invite all nearby devices, and/or a scannable code. The encrypted invitations and/or the unencrypted invitations can be broadcast using a short-range wireless communications protocol that limits the distance, from the broadcasting device, at which the invitations can be received. After providing the nearby device invitation in one or more of these ways, a resulting collaborative session between the first device and a second device can be managed via a server over a network.
