Techniques are described that update a caller on call progress status using various effects based on a likelihood that the call will connect with the callee, and/or a likelihood that the caller will prematurely terminate the call. In some examples, a machine-learned model may determine a likelihood that a call will connect based on conditions associated with the callee. In some cases, a machine-learned model may determine a likelihood that a call will be prematurely terminated by the caller based on conditions associated with the caller. Animations, haptic outputs, sounds, and/or other content may be used to indicate likelihood of the call connecting to the caller.

Call status effects

The present application describes a new protocol for broadcasting and managing participation in virtual calls via a digital communication service, such as a social medial platform. The protocol allows broadcasting indications of virtual conversations between user accounts to other user accounts. In some embodiments, the indications may include invitations to join the virtual conversation. The protocol allows broadcasting and managing of virtual conversations between multiple devices via a real-time communication (RTC) channel. The protocol includes exchange messages to cooperatively establish the conversation, broadcast an indication of the conversation to at least one non-participating user, and/or manage a set of participants for the conversation.
