• receive a selection of an option to screen the incoming video call;
• present a video message corresponding to the incoming video call, a real-time transcript synchronized with the video message as the video message is being captured, and an option to start a conference call to include multiple participants as the video message is being recorded;
• receive a selection of an option to interrupt the video message;
• stop playback of the video message;
• instantiate a video call when the selection is to accept the incoming video call;
• and
• delete the video message when the selection is to reject the incoming video call;
• wherein the one or more processors present the video message and the real-time transcript as the video message is captured, the one or more processors configured to:
• present, on a user interface of a client device, the video message and a transcript that is generated and displayed in real-time, such that the transcript is updated and displayed as the video message is recorded, and wherein a user is presented with an option to accept or reject the incoming video call at any point during the real-time playback and transcript display.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions operable to cause one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• presenting a notification of an incoming video call and a plurality of options for managing the video call;
• receiving a selection of an option to screen the incoming video call;
• presenting a video message corresponding to the incoming video call, a real-time transcript synchronized with the video message as the video message is being captured, and an option to start a conference call to include multiple participants as the video message is being captured;
• receiving a selection of an option interrupt the video message;
• stopping playback of the video message;
• instantiating a video call when the selection is to accept the incoming video call;
• and
• deleting the video message when the selection is to reject the incoming video call;
• wherein presenting the video message and the real-time transcript as the video message is captured comprises:
