The conversation-group information also includes a server identifier of a streaming server for the conversation group. The method includes receiving, from the first one of the client computing devices, a first audio stream and a first video stream. The method includes receiving, from each of one or more of the client computing devices other than the first one of the client computing devices, a request to access the conversation group.
