Abstract: Media, methods, and systems of presenting and assigning interactive user statuses within a group-based communication system. The interactive user statuses may include links to resources and/or actuatable controls for accessing collaboration activities with other users. The interactive user statuses may be assigned manually or automatically based on user activity within the group-based communication system or within external applications.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable media for persisting an annotated screen share within a group-based communication system are provided. A screen share may be received from a sharing user within a synchronous multimedia collaboration session. The screen share may be transmitted to viewing users for display. A viewing user may submit an annotation for the screen share. A sharing or viewing user may then submit a request to save the annotated screen share. The annotated screen share may be automatically persisted in association with the synchronous multimedia collaboration session.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a group-based communication system that is configured to generate a group-based communication interface comprising a priority pane, a last actions pane, and a missed pane. Each of the priority pane, the last actions pane, and the missed pane and configured for efficient positioning within a defined display window of a client device.

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: 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: Techniques for providing an interactable meeting transcript associated with a meeting via a virtual space of a communication platform are described herein. In at least one example, a user requests to conduct an audio or video meeting associated with a virtual space of the communication platform. The communication platform receives data representative of the meeting, generates a meeting transcript associated with the meeting based on the data, and causes presentation of the meeting transcript via the virtual space. In at least one example, the communication platform receives, from a user of the virtual space, an indication of a selection of a section of the meeting transcript, and causes an input interface to be presented, enabling the user of the virtual space to comment on the section of the meeting transcript. In response to receiving the comment, the communication platform updates a file associated with the meeting to include the comment.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable media for creating a collaboration container in a group-based communication system are provided. A request to create the collaboration container may be received. The collaboration container may comprise a collection of multimedia files. Multiple users may add multimedia files to the collaboration containers. The multimedia files may be stored in a storage order. The multimedia files in the collaboration container may be sorted based on a sort label, such as by multimedia file topic. Upon playback, the multimedia files may be played back in a sort order distinct from the storage order. During playback, a user may comment on a multimedia file of the collaboration container. When subsequent users playback the collaboration container, the comment may be displayed with the associated multimedia file.

Abstract: Asynchronous collaboration via a communication platform is described. A message representative of an asynchronous meeting can be displayed via a user interface of a communication platform. The user interface can include an affordance to enable a user to add a snippet of content to the asynchronous meeting. In response to detecting an actuation of the affordance, an input user interface that includes an option to record or upload the snippet of content can be displayed. The snippet of content can be received from a client of a user associated with the asynchronous meeting and can be associated with other snippet(s) of content added by other user(s) associated with the asynchronous meeting. A preview summary of snippet(s) of content associated with the asynchronous meeting can be displayed in association with the message, wherein each snippet of content is viewable via a thread associated with the message.
