Abstract

Embodiments disclosed herein provide methods, systems, and computer readable storage media for indicating eye tracking information during a real-time communication session. In a particular embodiment, a method provides receiving first eye tracking information captured by a first computing system operated by a first user during the communication session with a second computing system operated by a second user, wherein the first eye tracking information represents a first location on a display of the first computing system to where eyes of the first user are directed. The method further provides determining a second location on a display of the second computing system that corresponds to the first location and instructing the display of the second computing system to display a first indication of the second location in real-time with the communication session.
