Abstract: Methods, systems, and storage media for simultaneously recording multiple visual media using a plurality of cameras of a visual media recording device are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: record a first visual medium using a first camera (e.g., a front-facing camera) of the plurality of cameras of the visual media recording device; record a second visual medium using a second camera (e.g., a rear-facing camera) of the plurality of cameras of the visual media recording device simultaneously with recording of the first visual medium, at least one of the first camera and the second camera utilizing face-tracking technology during recording; combine the first visual medium and the second visual medium into a single visual output during a post-recording process; and cause display of the single visual output.

Abstract: Techniques to selectively capture media using a single user interface element are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a touch controller, a visual media capture component, and a storage component. The touch controller may be operative to receive a haptic engagement signal. The visual media capture component may be operative to be configured in a capture mode based on whether a haptic disengagement signal is received by the touch controller before expiration of a first timer, the capture mode one of a photo capture mode or video capture mode, the first timer started in response to receiving the haptic engagement signal, the first timer configured to expire after a first preset duration. The storage component may be operative to store visual media captured by the visual media capture component in the configured capture mode. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can provide a first user with a first media message from a second user. A selection is received from the first user to generate a second media message that is responsive to the first media message. A composer interface to generate the second media message is provided. The composer interface comprises a camera interface and a reference sticker comprising at least a portion of the first media message.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can detect an initiation of a drawing to a media content item. A first drawing option that is selectable via a first dimension can be provided. A second drawing option that is selectable via a second dimension can be provided. A first current state of the first drawing option and a second current state of the second drawing option can be indicated.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can detect a trigger to initiate at least one of a pixelation animation or a depixelation animation for a media content item. A set of pixelated images can be generated based on a source image associated with the media content item. Variable durations for presenting the set of pixelated images can be determined. The set of pixelated images can be presented, based on the variable durations, to produce the at least one of the pixelation animation or the depixelation animation.
