Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes providing, to each of a number of client devices, at least part of a graphical user interface (GUI) corresponding to a virtual room. The virtual room contains a number of users. The method further includes providing, to each of the client devices, a first portion of the GUI identifying at least some of the users in the virtual room. The method further includes providing, to each of the client devices, a second portion of the GUI, where the second portion of the GUI displays: (1) one or more user interactions from one or more of the users in the virtual room; and (2) for each user interaction, an identification of each particular user who generated the that user interaction.

Abstract: A method comprising by one or more computing systems of a virtual-room networking system, receiving, from a client computing device, a request to access a remote client; by the one or more computing systems of the virtual-room networking system, capturing, from the remote client, content to be presented to one or more client computing devices; by the one or more computing systems of the virtual-room networking system, encoding the captured content to be presented to the one or more client computing devices, wherein the encoding processes and converts the captured content in a format to be presented to the one or more computing devices; by the one or more computing systems of the virtual-room networking system, transmitting the encoded captured content to the one or more client computing systems.

Abstract: A method for sharing media within a chat room system, including: in response to receipt of a sharing selection from a user at a device, rerouting an audio output from a default audio output of the device to a virtual audio output, capturing a primary audio stream generated by an application executed on the device with the virtual audio output, sending the primary audio stream to an external server for distribution to secondary user devices, receiving a secondary audio stream from the external server and concurrently playing the primary audio stream and secondary audio stream at an audio output of the device.
