Abstract

In some implementations, a system may receive, from a user device, a user-side request associated with establishing an application session, wherein the user-side request includes an optical code. The system may receive, from an agent device, an agent-side request associated with the agent device joining the application session, wherein the agent-side request includes authentication information that indicates that the agent device scanned the optical code from an output component of the user device. The system may send, to the user device, a notification to permit the user device to join the application session. The system may activate the application session to permit the user device and the agent device to communicate via the application session.
