Abstract:
Implementations generally relate to configuring presence and notifications in persistent conversations. In one implementation, a method includes receiving a presence state associated with a user and causing the presence state to be selectively displayed to one or more target users. The method also includes determining that an event has occurred for which a notification is to be sent to the user, and selectively delivering the notification to the user based on the configured presence state.

Abstract:
In general, this disclosure describes techniques for initiating a communication session when a user indicates she or he is available to participate in the communication session. In one example, a method includes receiving, by a first communication device, an indication that a user is available to participate in a communication session that enables communication between different communication devices. Responsive to receiving the at least one signal, the communication session may be initiated in an inactive mode at the first communication device. The first communication device may receive a request from a second communication device to participate in the communication session. Responsive to receiving the request, the communication session may be switched from the inactive mode to an active mode.
Abstract:
Systems, methods and computer readable media for persistent conversations are described. In some implementations, a method can include receiving a communication message sent from a first user to at least one other user, and generating a persistent conversation object having a conversation content section and conversation state information. The method can also include storing the communication message in the conversation content section of the persistent conversation object, and forwarding the communication message to the at least one other user. The method can further include updating the conversation state information to reflect the receiving, storing and forwarding of the communication message.
Abstract:
A method and computing system for receiving a notification from a first website of a user signing into the first website. A determination is made concerning whether a compatible mobile application is available for the first website. If a compatible mobile application is available for the first website, a determination is made concerning whether the user has the compatible mobile application installed on a mobile device associated with the user. If the user does not have the compatible mobile application installed on the mobile device associated with the user, a determination is made concerning whether the compatible mobile application may be installed on the mobile device associated with the user.

Abstract:
This disclosure describes techniques in which one or more computing devices receive a signal from a first client computing device. The signal indicates that the first client computing device is available for participation in a communication session that enables communication between the first client computing device and one or more other client computing devices. The one or more computing devices determine a context for a topic of discussion associated with the communication session. The context is associated with a content item capable of being outputted by the first client computing device. Responsive to receiving the signal, the one or more computing devices initiate the communication session and send an invitation to at least one of the one or more other client computing devices to join the communication session. The invitation indicates the context of the communication session to at least one of the one or more other client computing devices.
Abstract:
A system for endpoint device-specific stream control for multimedia conferencing may include one or more processors and memory. The one or more processors may perform steps of providing a hosted multimedia conference to participant devices, determining whether each participant device is capable of providing a video stream transmission and providing, to each participant device, video stream controls that provide for controlling video streams of exclusively the other participant devices that are determined to be capable of providing video stream transmissions. The steps may further include receiving a selection of a first video stream control corresponding to a first participant device from second and third participant devices, receiving a video stream from the first participant device, and providing the video stream to the second and third participant devices based at least in part on the received selections of the first video stream control by the second and third participant devices.
