Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces for multi-user communication sessions. In some examples, a device initiates a live stream in a communication session. In some examples, a device transitions between streaming live audio and live video. In some examples, a device enables synchronizing media playback during a live stream.
Claims17
An electronic device, comprising:
- a display;
- one or more camera sensors;
- one or more microphones;
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- receiving user input identifying one or more contacts to include as one or more participants in a communication session;
- while in the communication session, concurrently displaying, on the display:
- a first affordance for transmitting a live media stream that includes live audio and does not include live video, and
- a second affordance for transmitting a live media stream that includes live audio and live video;
- receiving user input activating one of the first affordance and the second affordance;
- in accordance with receiving user input activating the first affordance, concurrently:
- detecting, using the one or more microphones, audio;
- and
- transmitting live audio in a live media stream to the one or more participants of the communication session, wherein transmitting the live audio occurs without transmission of live video;
- and
- in accordance with receiving user input activating the second affordance, concurrently:
- detecting, using the one or more microphones, audio;
- detecting, using the one or more camera sensors, a plurality of images for a video;
- and
- transmitting the live audio and the live video in a live media stream to the one or more participants of the communication session.

- receiving user input identifying one or more contacts to include as one or more participants in a communication session;
- while in the communication session, concurrently displaying, on the display:
- a first affordance for transmitting a live media stream that includes live audio and does not include live video, and
- a second affordance for transmitting a live media stream that includes live audio and live video;
- receiving user input activating one of the first affordance and the second affordance;
- in accordance with receiving user input activating the first affordance, concurrently:
- detecting, using the one or more microphones, audio;
- and
- transmitting live audio in a live media stream to the one or more participants of the communication session, wherein transmitting the live audio occurs without transmission of live video;
- and
- in accordance with receiving user input activating the second affordance, concurrently:
- detecting, using the one or more microphones, audio;
- detecting, using the one or more camera sensors, a plurality of images for a video;
- and
- transmitting the live audio and the live video in a live media stream to the one or more participants of the communication session.

A method, comprising:
- at an electronic device with a display, one or more camera sensors, and one or more microphones:
- receiving user input identifying one or more contacts to include as one or more participants in a communication session;
- while in the communication session, concurrently displaying, on the display:
- a first affordance for transmitting a live media stream that includes live audio and does not include live video, and
- a second affordance for transmitting a live media stream that includes live audio and live video;
- receiving user input activating one of the first affordance and the second affordance;
- in accordance with receiving user input activating the first affordance, concurrently:
- detecting, using the one or more microphones, audio;
- and
- transmitting live audio in a live media stream to the one or more participants of the communication session, wherein transmitting the live audio occurs without transmission of live video;
- and
- in accordance with receiving user input activating the second affordance, concurrently:
- detecting, using the one or more microphones, audio;
- detecting, using the one or more camera sensors, a plurality of images for a video;
- and
