Abstract: Systems, methods and computer readable media for live interactions in persistent conversations are described. In some implementations, a method can include receiving a communication message sent from a first user to a second user, wherein the communication message includes initiation of a live interaction. The method can also include generating a live interaction user interface element for display as part of a persistent conversation interface. The method can further include storing a representation of the live interaction in a conversation content section of a persistent conversation object when the live interaction ends. The method can include updating conversation state information of the persistent conversation object to reflect the receiving of the communication message and the storing of the representation.

Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for seamlessly transferring a communication session from a first client to a second client via a close-range communication connection. Implementations contemplate serializing a set of unique identifiers pertaining to a communication session and transmitting the set of serialized identifiers from the first client to the second client via a close-range communication connection. The second client de-serializes the set of unique identifiers and transmits a request to a communication session server to assume control of the communication session from the first client. A communication session server may perform an authentication of the second client that requires the second client to provide credentials associated with a user account. In some implementations, the present disclosure provides for the creation of a temporary use token that enables a client to temporarily acquire credentials associated with a user account.
