The disclosed computer-implemented method may include systems for incorporating a user's avatar into a real-time communication session. For example, the described systems establish a real-time communication session between two or more social networking system users. The described systems further generate a landmark map representing positioning of one of the real-time communication session participants, and transmit the landmark map with the participant's avatar to one or more recipients. On the recipient-side, the described systems render the transmitted avatar according to the landmark map. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Systems and methods for incorporating avatars into real-time communication sessions

Techniques are described that provide a gallery of media files via a messaging application. The messaging application may include one or more messaging threads between a user and one or more other users. The user may share a media file with another user via a message associated with a message thread. The media files may include photographs, videos, links, screenshots, documents, graphic interchange format (GIF) images, and other media content shared between a user and one or more other users. A communication platform may determine that the message includes a media file and may associate the media file with media galleries associated with the user and the other user. The media galleries may enable both users to easily access shared media content and to quickly identify a particular media files of interest.
