It is the same UUID. We have been using the Activity-ID for that purpose 
since the beginning.

We use the activity-id when we join an activity. We let telepathy know 
when we share the activity [1].

Best is to look in extensions/extensions.html in telepathy-salut or 
telepathy-gabble, there you find AddActivity for example.
