Original Abstract Submitted
this relates to an intelligent automated assistant in a video communication session environment. an example method includes, during a video communication session between at least two user devices, and at a first user device: receiving a first user voice input; in accordance with a determination that the first user voice input represents a communal digital assistant request, transmitting a request to provide context information associated with the first user voice input to the first user device; receiving context information associated with the first user voice input; obtaining a first digital assistant response based at least on a portion of the context information received from the second user device and at least a portion of context information associated with the first user voice input that is stored on the first user device; providing the first digital assistant response to the second user device; and outputting the first digital assistant response.
