Abstract: A method includes displaying a message within an interface of a group-based communication platform on a device associated with a user; receiving, from the user, a selection of a first reactive emoji having a first skin tone for display in association with the message; and in response, displaying a first instance of the selected first reactive emoji having the first skin tone in a first grouping with at least a second instance of the first reactive emoji having a second skin tone different than the first skin tone, wherein the first grouping of the first instance and the at least the second instance is displayed in association with the message.

Abstract: A method includes displaying a plurality of group-based communication channels in an interface associated with a first user of a group-communication platform; receiving a request from the first user to share a selected set of the group-based communication channels with at least a second user of the group-based communication platform; displaying to at least the second user an indication of at least one group-based communication channel of the selected set of group-based communication channels and an affordance to add the at least one group-based communication channel of the selected set of group-based communication channels; in response to receiving an actuation of the affordance by the second user, adding the at least one group-based communication channel to an interface associated with the second user; and updating display of the interface associated with the second user to include the at least one group-based communication channel.

Abstract: Medium, method and system for ad hoc, ambient, synchronous multimedia collaboration in a group-based communication system. Embodiments of the invention provide a way for users to quickly establish a real-time collaboration among a group of peers without the burden and overhead of a conventional call or video meeting. Users can quickly and easily join and leave these synchronous multimedia collaboration sessions at any time, without disrupting the session for other users. This enables the user to experience the collaboration as a convenient forum rather than a burdensome scheduled event.

Abstract: Techniques for providing a collaborative document in association with a virtual meeting on a communication platform are discussed herein. Users may communicate within the communication platform via text-based messages, which may include links, documents, videos, etc. Users may request a virtual meeting with audio and/or video capabilities. Responsive to a request, users within the communication channel may be invited to the virtual meeting and the collaborative document. The collaborative document can enable messaging and sharing functionalities attributable to a virtual space. The collaborative document may be populated with communications previously exchanged within the communication channel, such that links, documents, videos, content, etc. that occurred or were shared within the communication channel may be indicated within the collaborative document to provide context to the virtual meeting.

Abstract: Computer-readable media, methods, and systems for generating a collaboration hub for display within a graphical user interface of a group-based communication system. The collaboration hub comprises a list of recommended active users, a list of recommended active synchronous multimedia collaboration sessions, and a feed of recommended asynchronous collaboration threads such that relevant activity within the group-based communication system is viewable and accessible to users of the group-based communication system.

Abstract: Snippets of content associated with a communication platform are described. In an example, based at least in part on a determination, by the communication platform, that a user of the communication platform is permitted to access one or more snippets of content provided by one or more other users of the communication platform, causing one or more user interface elements associated with the one or more snippets of content to be presented via a user interface of a user computing device of the user. The communication platform can receive, from the user computing device, a request to view a snippet of content of the one or more snippets of content and can cause the snippet of content to be presented by the user computing device via the user interface associated with the communication platform.

Abstract: A method includes displaying a plurality of group-based communication channels in an interface associated with a first user of a group-communication platform; receiving a request from the first user to share a selected set of the group-based communication channels with at least a second user of the group-based communication platform; displaying to at least the second user an indication of at least one group-based communication channel of the selected set of group-based communication channels and an affordance to add the at least one group-based communication channel of the selected set of group-based communication channels; in response to receiving an actuation of the affordance by the second user, adding the at least one group-based communication channel to an interface associated with the second user; and updating display of the interface associated with the second user to include the at least one group-based communication channel.

Abstract: Modifying direct message (DM) communication membership is described. A communication platform can receive, in association with a DM communication associated with a first group of users and from a user computing device of a user of the first group of users, a first request to modify the first group of users. The communication platform can send, to the user computing device, a second request to designate whether to include context data associated with the DM communication in a new channel. Based at least partly on receiving an indication to include at least a portion of the context data associated with the DM communication in the new channel, the communication platform can generate the new channel, wherein the new channel is associated with a second group of users different than the first group of users, and at least the portion of the context data is associated with the new channel.
