Systems and methods for providing ephemeral streaming spaces may include (1) providing a user with a digital display of video cards, in which each video card within the digital display corresponds to a contact, of the user, designated as currently available for video conferencing, (2) receiving user input selecting a video card from the digital display, and (3) in response to receiving the user input, initiating a video conference between the user and a contact corresponding to the selected video card. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

A communication platform may comprise different systems for helping a user discover features of the platform. However, the systems may generate different results. An application programming interface (API) may receive such outputs and may be configured to select between the outputs based on detecting a state at a user's computing device and/or using a machine-learned model to weight the outputs and/or probabilities associated therewith using a target metric. The API may then rank the outputs and select from among them based at least in part on the target metric.

Examples disclosed herein provide the ability for remote participants in a collaborative workspace to hear and view specified participants in a conference room. In on example, a computing device may receive streams of content from devices located in a room, and receive requests from users. As an example, each user request is for accessing a subset of the streams of content. For each user request, the computing device may join the requested subset of the streams of content into a single multimedia stream, and transmit each single multimedia stream to respective users.

A virtual communication system including logic for supporting layered conversations, the system comprising: at least two computers communicating to one another over a communications medium, where each computer represents a User, each computer including a display, audio input, audio output, video input (such as a camera), memory, data storage, and a processor, a knowledge base stored in memory, the knowledgebase containing an identifier identifying each conversation associated with a given user, the knowledgebase storing information identifying each participant in each of the conversations, the knowledgebase storing information identifying the type of each conversation associated with the given one of the at least two computers, where each User may participate in multiple simultaneous conversations; and layered conversation logic executed by the processor, the layered conversation logic controlling a volume and a visual layout of each participant in each conversation in which the User participates in accordance with the conversation type.

One example method for virtual expo booth previews includes joining a virtual expo hosted by a video conference provider, the virtual expo including a plurality of virtual expo booths; presenting a graphical representation of the virtual expo and one or more virtual expo booths of the plurality of virtual expo booths; receiving an input indicating a first expo booth of the plurality of virtual expo booths; receiving, from the video conference provider, one or more multimedia streams associated with the first virtual expo booth; and presenting the one or more multimedia streams
