Medium, method and system for ad hoc, ambient, synchronous multimedia collaboration in a group-based communication system. Embodiments of the invention provide a way for users to quickly establish a real-time collaboration among a group of peers without the burden and overhead of a conventional call or video meeting. Users can quickly and easily join and leave these synchronous multimedia collaboration sessions at any time, without disrupting the session for other users. This enables the user to experience the collaboration as a convenient forum rather than a burdensome scheduled event.

Ambient, ad hoc, multimedia collaboration in a group-based communication system

The disclosure generally relates to an enterprise group-based communication system. Group-based communication channels may be created and access by client devices associated with users within the enterprise group-based communication system that have various identifiers associated therewith.

Method, apparatus, and computer program product for authorizing and authenticating user communication within an enterprise group-based communication platform

A board associated with a communication platform and/or one or more channels associated therewith is described. In an example, the board can be associated with editable text and one or more objects capable of being at least one of reordered, added, deleted, or edited. In an example, the one or more objects can be associated with one or more sections. In an example, a communication platform can perform a modification to the board, based at least in part on receiving a request associated with the modification, and can cause the board to be presented via a user interface associated with a member of at least one communication channel with which the board is associated. In an example, the board can be sharable with users associated with different communication channels, workspaces, organizations, or the like.

Electronic board associated with a communication platform

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a group-based communication server for associating an identifier with one or more message communications within a group-based communication system. In some embodiments, the group-based communication server comprises at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code.

Method, apparatus, and computer program product for associating an identifier with one or more message communications within a group-based communication system

The Messaging Search and Management Apparatuses, Methods and Systems ('MSM') transforms message, ranking request inputs via MSM components into work graphs, ML structure input data, ML structure, ranking response outputs. A work graph generation request that includes group level access control data may be obtained. A set of metadata access control carrying messages, a set of users, a set of channels, and a set of topics with access control data corresponding to the group level access control data may be determined. A user priority score for each of the other users, a channel priority score for each of the channels, and a topic priority score for each of the topics, from the perspective of each user, may be calculated. A work graph data structure may be generated that includes, for each user, data regarding the calculated user priority scores, channel priority scores, and topic priority scores.

Messaging search and management apparatuses, methods and systems

Provided is a group-based communication interface configured to allow members of the interface to communicate within group-based communication channels. The group-based communication interface is configured to relegate selected group-based messaging communications to a separate display pane, where additional messaging communications can be received, thereby maintaining a focused selected group-based communication channel. The selected group-based communication channel is updated to indicate that the selected group-based messaging communications was relegated to a separate display pane, informing the channel members while also allowing the channel members to access the separate display pane if desired. Accordingly, the selected group-based communication interface provides for efficient and focused group-based communications.

Group-based communication interface with subsidiary channel-based thread communications

Medium, method and system for ad hoc, ambient, synchronous multimedia collaboration in a group-based communication system. Embodiments of the invention provide a way for users to quickly and start a real-time collaboration among a group of peers without the burden and overhead of a conventional call or video meeting. Users can quickly and easily join and leave these synchronous multimedia collaboration sessions at any time, without disrupting the session for other users. This enables the user to experience the collaboration as a convenient forum rather than a burdensome scheduled event.

Media objects, such as images or soundtracks, may be ranked according to a new class of metrics known as 'interestingness.' These rankings may be based at least in part on the quantity of user-entered metadata concerning the media object, the number of users who have assigned metadata to the media object, access patterns related to the media object, and/or a lapse of time related to the media object.

Interestingness ranking of media objects

Metadata may be associated with media objects by providing media objects for display, and accepting input concerning the media objects, where the input may include at least two different types of metadata. For example, metadata may be in the form of tags, comments, annotations or favorites. The media objects may be searched according to metadata, and ranked in a variety of ways.
