A user interface for sharing media items with others. From a sender's perspective, embodiments of the invention allow for an easy-to-use drag-and-drop technique that is more user-friendly than conventional techniques. From the recipient's perspective, embodiments of the invention allow media items from multiple sources to be aggregated into a single viewport, providing a cohesive and unified approach to media items received from others.

Configuring channels for sharing media

A computer-implemented method, including detecting an event associated with an image displayed on a display device within a software application, loading a media player into the software application behind the image, where the media player is configured to play a media file associated with the image, and causing a representation of a frame of the media file to be displayed within the media player instead of the image.

Smooth playing of video

A computer-implemented method that includes receiving a request to generate an interface within a software application that is configured to play back one or more media files; for a first media file, generating an image representing a frame of the first media file; and causing the image to be displayed within the interface on a display device, where the image is configured to detect an event that causes a media player to be loaded into the software application behind the image.

Replacing an image with a media player

A computer-implemented method is disclosed. The method involves: providing to a first client computing device a first instance of a first software program that includes a first secret ID value; receiving a first account creation request that includes the first secret ID value; associating the first account creation request with the first client computing device; and approving the first account creation request and creating a first account for the first client computing device if less than a first threshold of previous account creation requests that include the first secret ID value have been previously received, and a presumption that the first client computing device is a spammer does not apply; or denying the first account creation request if either the number of previously received account creation requests that include the first secret ID value is equal to or greater than the first threshold, or the presumption that the first client computing device is a spammer applies.
