Abstract
Content from a user computing device may be transmitted to at least one recipient computing device. A plurality of avatars is displayed that each represent different recipients associated with recipient computing devices. A group communication session is established among the user computing device and the recipient computing devices. During the group communication session: initial content is transmitted from the user computing device to each recipient computing device; based on determining that the user is gazing at a selected avatar, a private communication session is established between the user computing device and the recipient computing device associated with the selected avatar. During the private communication session, subsequent content is transmitted from the user computing device to such recipient computing device, and is not transmitted to the other recipient computing devices.
