Digital processing systems and methods for variable hang-time for social layer messages in collaborative work systems

Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media that automatically vary hang-time of pop-up messages, to enable presentation of a shared work environment on a plurality of client devices and cause a presentation of a plurality of visual indicators on a fraction of a display of the shared work environment, wherein each visual indicator represents differing clients associated with the plurality of client devices. The embodiments may further enable at least one group chat between the plurality of client devices, wherein communications are presented in pop-up windows appearing adjacent corresponding visual indicators, and wherein the pop-up windows remain on the display for differing durations depending on variables including at least one of length of message, number of concurrently displayed messages, a client defined threshold, or a sender status.
