Abstract

Methods and systems for communicating active voice calls through messaging systems are disclosed. Active voice calls are identified as connected between a call participant and a first account of a messaging system. A set of instructions is established and associated with the active voice call that are executable to cause display of a call user interface for accounts of the messaging system. A message including a reference to the set of instructions for the active voice call is generated and transmitted to a second account of the messaging system through the messaging system using messaging functions of the messaging system to cause display of the call user interface to the second account, allowing the second account to interact with the active voice call.
