    Abstract: Methods and devices for causing a communications session between a first device and a second device to end based on lack of speech activity are described herein. In some embodiments, a communications between a first device and a second device may be initiated by the first device, where a first user account associated with the first device is authorized to initiate communications session with the second device by a second user account. After the communications session is started, audio data is received by a speech activity detection system, which determines whether the audio data represents speech or non-speech. If, after the communications session begins, non-speech is detected by the first device for more than a predefined amount of time, then the communications session is caused to end so that the first device is not capable of receiving video and/or audio associated with the second device.

    Abstract: Systems and methods to prevent or diminish message thread explosion are disclosed. Message data sent between members of a communal profile and/or between members of multiple communal profiles may be consolidated into a single message thread, which may be displayed on devices associated with the members associated with of the communal profile(s). Consolidation of the message data into a communal message thread may allow users to more intuitively view conversations between members of their communal profile and/or between members of their communal profile and other communal profiles without viewing individual message threads between members of the communal profile(s).
