Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for performing operations for providing a shared augmented reality experience in a video chat. A video chat can be established between a plurality of client devices. During the video chat, videos of users associated with the client devices can be displayed. During the video chat, a request from a first client device to activate a first AR experience can be received, and in response, and body parts of users depicted in the videos are modified to include one or more AR elements associated with the first AR experience.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for generating voice notes. In one embodiment, a messaging application implemented on a first participant computing device, receives a request to send a voice message to a second participant computing device in a communication session. In response to receiving the request, the messaging application selects a voice modification effect. The messaging application receives input to begin recording the voice message. While the voice message is being recorded, the messaging application receives speech input, modifies the speech input based on the voice modification effect in real time, and continuously updates an audio file with the modified speech input. In response to receiving input to terminate recording the voice message, the messaging application provides a first option to playback the audio file and a second option to send the audio file as the voice message to the second participant computing device.

Abstract: Examples relate to a method of operating a web-based video calling system. The method includes detecting the initiation of a web calling session from a web calling client executing within a web browser on a user device. Responsive to this detection, the method involves causing the display of a video feed from a digital image sensor of the camera of the user device. A user interface (UI) is provided that includes interactive elements to facilitate control over the video calling session. The UI is adapted based on predefined conditions to maintain privacy. Specifically, the UI is adapted by automatically obscuring the video feed upon detecting user inactivity or the removal of foreground focus on the display of the user device. This approach ensures enhanced privacy and user control during web-based video calling sessions.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system for hiding conversation elements. The system accesses a conversation interface of a messaging application on a web browser and presents the conversation interface in a window associated with the web browser. The conversation interface comprising a plurality of conversation elements. The system determines that one or more inputs received from one or more input devices correspond to a specified combination of inputs. The system, in response to determining that the one or more inputs correspond to a specified combination of inputs, obscures a first subset of the plurality of conversation elements.

Abstract: The technical problem of generating a video feed that represents a user who is party to a video call in a manner that invokes the sense of visual presence of the caller without communicating the live video of the user is addressed by configuring a video calling system to include an avatar call platform. The avatar call platform is configured to generate and display a video of an animated figure that represents a caller during a call, in that the face of the animated figure moves in a way that matches what the caller is saying during the call.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system for managing a conversation across multiple windows or tabs. The system accesses a conversation interface of a messaging application on a first web session and presents the conversation interface in the first web session. The system receives a request to access the conversation interface from a second web session. In response to receiving the request, the system transfers the conversation interface from the first web session to the second web session.

Abstract: A messaging system, which hosts a backend service for an associated messaging client application, includes a voice notes system that addresses the technical problem of serving an audio message to the recipient in a manner that permits the recipient to consume the message in a text format as a transcription. A chat user interface (UI) provided with the voice notes system permits a user to play an audio message or request generation of the transcription of the audio message on-demand to prevent unnecessary cluttering of the UI real estate.
