Abstract

In some implementations, a user device may receive, from a user of the user device, a request to initiate an application session that is associated with an application. The user device may provide, to a server device based on receiving the request, an optical code associated with the server device establishing the application session. The user device may output the optical code via an output component. The user device may receive, from the server device, a notification that an agent device has joined the application session via a scan of the optical code from the output component. The user device may enable a function of the application based on the notification indicating that the agent device is capable of facilitating a service via the application session, wherein the service is associated with the function.
