The user may define a sequence of content items (e.g., images, videos, text, emojis, emoticons, etc.) that are to be displayed through a chat interface for the conversation. A sequence of message elements (e.g., chat bubbles) are constructed based upon the participant definition and/or the sequence of content items.
