    Abstract: This disclosure describes a video room system that can efficiently and flexibly generate and facilitate video rooms for video chatting between participant devices by prioritizing video streams to provide to participant devices based on performance parameters. For example, the video room system can provide different video room streams to different participant devices based on the performance parameters of the participant devices. In addition, the video room system can customize or tailor video room streams based on identifying dominant speaker devices, determining connections between participant devices as indicated by a social graph of a social networking system, and/or based on join methods utilized by participant devices to join a video room.

    Abstract: A business interfaces with a messaging server to establish routing rules that associate particular types of requests from users of clients with specific roles of agents in an agent pool. A user of a client engages in a canonical messaging thread with the business server via the messaging server. The messaging server receives a call request from the client. The messaging server uses the routing rules to identify the agent role to serve the user's request. The messaging server may exchange routing messages with the user in the canonical thread. The messaging server selects an agent from the agent pool to service the user's call-based communication request based on the profiles of the agents and the identified agent role. The messaging server establishes a call between the user and the selected agent. The agent and user may exchange messages on the canonical thread between the user and the business.

    Abstract: This disclosure covers methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems that analyze a previously unrecognized communication number associated with a sender of a direct digital message when a client device receives the direct digital message from the previously unrecognized communication number. Based on this analysis, the methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems provide profile information associated with the communication number for the client device to present together with the direct digital message. To find relevant profile information for the communication number, the disclosed methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems optionally query a social networking system for profile information connected to the communication number.

    Abstract: This disclosure covers methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems that receive a direct digital message for delivery to a recipient and then generate a relevance score representing the direct digital message's relevance to the recipient. The relevance score accounts for either or both of crowdsourced information and social-network signals. Based on the relevance score, the methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems either provide the direct digital message to the recipient's client device for display within a received-messages preview or provide the message to the recipient's client device for sequestration within a sequestration folder.
