    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to techniques for introducing asynchronous messaging concepts into a synchronous messaging system. As a conversation is carried out, different topics may be identified and highlighted as separate threads within the conversation. A new thread may be identified based on a number of factors, including (for example) time between messages, questions raised in a communication, discussions of dates, the inclusion of links, and any mentions of specific names. Further embodiments relate to techniques for navigating in asynchronous message threads. For example, a synchronous message alias may be created that redirects a display to a location of an asynchronous message. An indication may be displayed to designate that the asynchronous message is displayed out-of-order.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving from a first group member a request to initiate a multiplex live communication with members of a group, wherein the first group member belongs to the group; sending a notification to each of one or more second group members notifying the one or more second group members that a multiplex live communication among members of the group is underway, wherein the one or more second group members belongs to the group; receiving one or more requests from a first subset of the one or more second group members to join the multiplex live communication; initiating the multiplex live video communication between the first group member and the first subset of the one or more second group members who requested to join the multiplex live communication.

    Abstract: An online system maintains groups of online system users. When content is provided to a group, the online system presents the content to users included in the group. To allow a user to more easily access content provided to groups including the user, the online system identifies groups including the user and retrieves content items provided to the identified groups. The online system provides at least a set of the retrieved content items to an application executing on a client device associated with the user along with instructions for generating an interface. Executing the instructions causes the client device to generate an interface that presents representations of the retrieved content items in a portion of a display and describes the identified groups in an additional portion of the display. Based on interactions received from the user, the client device modifies representations of the retrieved content items presented to the user.
