Abstract
In examples, a device's native input interface (e.g., a soft keyboard) may be invoked using interaction areas associated with image frames from an application, such as a game. An area of an image frame(s) from a streamed game video may be designated (e.g., by the game and/or a game server) as an interaction area. When an input event associated with the interaction area is detected, an instruction may be issued to the client device to invoke a user interface (e.g., a soft keyboard) of the client device and may cause the client device to present a graphical input interface. Inputs made to the presented graphical input interface may be accessed by the game streaming client and provided to the game instance.
