Various embodiments include systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for sharing and managing media galleries. Consistent with these embodiments, a method includes receiving a request from a first device to share a media gallery that includes a user avatar; generating metadata associated with the media gallery; generating a message associated with the media gallery, the message at least including the media gallery identifier and the identifier of the user avatar; and transmitting the message to a second device of the recipient user.

Media gallery sharing and management

The technical problem of generating a video feed that represents a user who is party to a video call in a manner that invokes the sense of visual presence of the caller without communicating the live video of the user is addressed by configuring a video calling system to include an avatar call platform. The avatar call platform is configured to generate and display a video of an animated figure that represents a caller during a call, in that the face of the animated figure moves in a way that matches what the caller is saying during the call.
