Systems and methods for augmenting electronic content

A system, comprising:

• one or more computing devices;
• and
• non-transitory computer readable memory storing program code that when executed by the one or more computing devices is configured to cause the system to perform operations comprising:
• accessing chat content from a chat session among users on a network, including at least an item of video chat content associated with a phone number of a chat participant,
• wherein the chat session is conducted using at least one chat session participant device camera, the chat session including at least a first item of video chat content associated with a phone number associated with a camera equipped device of a first chat participant, the camera equipped device of the first chat participant used to record the first item of video chat content;
• accessing location information received from the camera equipped device of the first chat participant associated with the first item of video chat content, the location information indicating a geographic location where the first item of video chat content was recorded by the camera equipped device of the first chat participant;
• comparing the location information received from the camera equipped device of the first chat participant, indicating the geographic location where the first item of video chat content was recorded by the camera equipped device of the first chat participant, with predefined location information associated with projects or activities to identify a corresponding matching project or activity with respect to the first item of video chat content, wherein the matching project or activity is associated with an electronic building plan document comprising a plurality of plan sheets;
• associating the first item of video chat content with a first plan sheet in the electronic building plan document comprising a plurality of plan sheets;
• enabling a first user to access the first plan sheet in the electronic building plan document;
• at least partly in response to the first user accessing the first plan sheet in the electronic building plan document, causing the first item of video chat content to be displayed together with the first plan sheet, the first item of video chat content associated with the first plan sheet by comparing the location information received from the camera equipped device of the first chat participant, indicating the geographic location where the first item of video chat content was recorded by the camera equipped device of the first chat participant, with the predefined location information associated with projects or activities,
• wherein the first item of video chat content is displayed in association with a video play control and in association with an identifier of the first chat participant and time length information;
• enabling the first item of video chat content in the multimedia document to be played in response to a user activation of the video play control while the first plan sheet in the electronic building plan document is displayed;
• and
• providing annotations tools comprising a first plurality of different geometrical shapes enabling the first user to graphically annotate at least a frame of the first item of video chat by placing a selected geometrical shape from the annotation tools over a feature in the frame of the first item of video chat by dragging from the annotation tools and dropping the selected geometrical shape over the feature in the frame of the first item of video chat to thereby surround the feature in the frame of the first item of video chat within a perimeter of the selected geometrical shape, wherein the different geometrical shapes are associated with respective different searchable metadata indicative of a criticality type.
