Patent number: 10938754Abstract: Systems and methods for conducting an instant messaging communication session are disclosed. A method may include displaying an instant messaging user interface that includes a message composition region for composing an instant messaging communication. The method also includes receiving a selection of media for insertion into the instant messaging communication by receiving a reference to the media. The method may further include generating a link comprising an address of the selected media. The method also includes creating a selectable control with the link embedded therein in the user interface, and detecting selection of a selectable control. The method may further include displaying a video player region within the instant messaging user interface in response to the detected selection of the selectable control, and accessing a network element to play the media within a video player region in response to the detected selection of the selectable control.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2019Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Richard James Cole, Stephanie Robesky, Benjamin Dove, Natasha Valerie Sopieva
