Sharing a user-selected video in a group communication

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause a processing device to perform operations, comprising:

• receiving an indication of a request of a first user of a plurality of users of a service to find a video to be added to a group communication user interface (UI) as a message from the first user to other users of the plurality of users participating in a group communication,
• wherein the group communication represents an exchange of messages between the plurality of users, and
• wherein the exchanged messages are visible to the plurality of users in the group communication UI as an ordered stream of posts;
• responsive to receiving the indication:
• determining, based on consumption history data of the first user, a plurality of video identifiers of videos having playback associated with the first user;
• and
• sending the plurality of video identifiers to a first client device of the first user;
• receiving, from the first client device, user input comprising a selection of at least one video identifier of at least one selected video to be added to the group communication UI, the plurality of video identifiers comprising the at least one selected video identifier;
• and
• causing the at least one selected video to be shared with the other users in the group communication via a presentation of the at least one selected video in the group communication UI.

A system comprising:

• a memory storing computer-readable instructions;
• and
• a processing device to execute the computer-readable instructions to perform operations comprising:
• receiving an indication of a request of a first user of a plurality of users of a service to find a video to be added to a group communication user interface (UI) as a message from the first user to other users of the plurality of users participating in a group communication,
• wherein the group communication represents an exchange of messages between the plurality of users, and
• wherein the exchanged messages are visible to the plurality of users in the group communication UI as an ordered stream of posts;
• responsive to receiving the indication:
• determining, based on consumption history data of the first user, a plurality of video identifiers of videos having playback associated with the first user;
• and
• sending the plurality of video identifiers to a first client device of the first user;
• receiving, from the first client device, user input comprising a selection of at least one video identifier of at least one selected video to be added to the group communication UI, the plurality of video identifiers comprising the at least one selected video identifier;
• and
• causing the at least one selected video to be shared with the other users in the group communication via a presentation of the at least one selected video in the group communication UI.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• presenting, at a mobile device of a first user of a plurality of users participating in a group communication, a group communication graphical user interface (GUI) of an application providing the group communication between the first user and one or more other users of the plurality of participating users, wherein the group communication represents an exchange of messages between the plurality of participating users and wherein the exchanged messages are visible to the plurality of participating users in the group communication GUI as an ordered stream of posts;
• receiving, from a server, a plurality of video identifiers of videos having playback associated with the first user, the plurality of video identifiers being determined based on consumption history data of the first user;
• initiating a presentation, on the mobile device of the first user, of the plurality of video identifiers of videos;
• and
• responsive to a selection of at least one of the plurality of video identifiers of at least one selected video, causing the at least one selected video to be added to the group communication via a presentation of the at least one selected video in the group communication GUI.
