A user device comprising a user interface generator configured to generate a user interface for designing an animated meme comprising a sequence of images and at least one text layer overlaid on at least some of the sequence of images, the user interface comprising an edit frame comprising: an image sequence overlay configured to display an arrangement of selected images from the sequence of images and at least one slider associated with a text layer configured to define when the text layer is to be displayed over the sequence of images.

Animation editor

A method implemented by a client application when executed on a user device during an instant messaging communication between said user device and at least one further device, the method comprising: transmitting a first message comprising media data over a communication network from said user device to said at least one further device; receiving a second message comprising further media data transmitted over said communication network from said at least one further device; determining that the media data and the further media data are of the same data type; and generating a composite media object based on the media data and the further media data in response to said determination and displaying the composite media object on a display of said user device.

Instant messaging

A user terminal comprising: a network interface; a display; a content sharing module configured to display content shared with a further user terminal on the display, and receive position data from the further user terminal via the network interface, said position data indicating a position within the shared content associated with a user at the further user terminal; and a communications module. The communications module configured to: receive video data from the further user terminal over a communications network during a communication event with at least said further user terminal via the network interface; and control the video data received from said further user terminal to be displayed on said display in dependence on the position within the shared content associated with the user at the further user terminal.

Sharing content

A user terminal comprising: a network interface; a display; and a communications module configured to: receive video data from at least one further user terminal over a communications network during a communication event with said at least one further user terminal via said network interface; receive location information from said at least one further user terminal over the communications network via said network interface; in response to receiving said location information, display a map on said display, said map displaying a plurality of locations; and for each of said at least one further user terminal, control the video data received from said further user terminal to be displayed on said display to provide a visual indication of the location of said further user terminal at one of said plurality of locations.
