Enabling collaborative reactions to images

Non-transitory, computer-readable storage storing instructions that, when executed by a computer system, cause the computer system to:

• launch a collaboration session for which participation involves a particular user identity and one or more other user identities;
• receive, in connection with the collaboration session, an image provided on behalf of the particular user identity;
• enable one or more users associated with the one or more other user identities to access the image via the collaboration session;
• receive, in connection with the collaboration session, a reaction to the image provided on behalf of an individual one of the other user identities;
• establish an association between the received reaction and the image that links the received reaction to the image;
• and
• enable a user associated with the particular user identity to access, in connection with the collaboration session, the received reaction in a manner that reflects the link between the received reaction and the image.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• providing, by a computing system, a collaboration service enabling collaboration sessions involving multiple user identities;
• receiving, by the computing system, a request to establish, on behalf of a particular user identity, a collaboration session;
• launching, by the computing system, the requested collaboration session, the collaboration session being accessible to a user associated with the particular user identity and one or more users associated with one or more other user identities via a network address associated with the collaboration session;
• receiving, by the computing system, an indication of an image provided on behalf of the particular user identity to be associated with the collaboration session;
• enabling, by the computing system, one or more users associated with the one or more other user identities to access the image in connection with the collaboration session;
• enabling, by the computing system, one or more users associated with the one or more other user identities to provide reactions to the image in connection with the collaboration session;
• as a consequence of having enabled one or more users associated with the one or more other user identities to provide reactions to the image, receiving, by the computing system and in connection with the collaboration session, a reaction to the image provided on behalf of an individual one of the other user identities;
• establishing, by the computing system, an association between the received reaction and the image that links the received reaction to the image;
• and
• enabling, by the computing system, a user associated with the particular user identity to access the received reaction in a manner that reflects the link between the received reaction and the image.
