  • Publication number: 20250165645
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system for hiding conversation elements. The system accesses a conversation interface of a messaging application on a web browser and presents the conversation interface in a window associated with the web browser. The conversation interface comprises a plurality of conversation elements. The system accesses a focus status of the window and, in response to determining that the focus status indicates that the window has lost focus, obscures a first subset of the plurality of conversation elements.

  • Publication number: 20240305672
    Abstract: Examples relate to a method of operating a web-based video calling system. The method includes detecting the initiation of a web calling session from a web calling client executing within a web browser on a user device. Responsive to this detection, the method involves causing the display of a video feed from a digital image sensor of the camera of the user device. A user interface (UI) is provided that includes interactive elements to facilitate control over the video calling session. The UI is adapted based on predefined conditions to maintain privacy. Specifically, the UI is adapted by automatically obscuring the video feed upon detecting user inactivity or the removal of foreground focus on the display of the user device. This approach ensures enhanced privacy and user control during web-based video calling sessions.
