1. A method of operating an application server configured to arbitrate a communication session between a plurality of user equipments (UEs), comprising: receiving, from a given UE among the plurality of UEs, a media stream for presentation on at least one target UE; receiving, from the given UE, a request to modify how the media stream is presented at the at least one target UE by adjusting screen-wide display settings of at least one target UE during the communication session, the request issued from the given UE responsive to detection of a physical user input by a user at the given UE; transmitting the media stream to the at least one target UE; and transmitting, separate from the media stream, control messaging to the at least one target UE that requests the at least one target UE to adjust the screen-wide display settings of the at least one target UE in accordance with the received request, wherein the adjustment to the screen-wide display settings is configured to cause a screen-wide change to graphical content being rendered in a set of display frames at the at least one target UE irrespective of where the media stream is presented within the set of display frames wherein the physical user input prompts a screen-wide display adjustment at the given UE that is analogous to the corresponding screen-wide display settings adjustment for the at least one target UE.
