Abstract
Systems and methods provide techniques for providing coordinated display of software applications. In one embodiments, a method for enabling a first software application to enter a co-display mode with a second software application includes obtaining a co-display notification associated with the second software application; determining an overlay region within the first display region; generating a display update request, wherein the display update request is configured to cause the computing device to display a transparent overlay user interface element over the overlay region; causing the computing device to transmit co-display information to the second software application; and causing the computing device to update display of a first application interface associated with the first software application in accordance with the display update request.
