Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media are configured to provide a first element in an interface presentable to a user through which a plurality of ephemeral media content items are accessible by the user for a selected period of time. A second element in the interface through which a plurality of non-ephemeral media content items are accessible by the user is provided.

Claims (55)

1 . A computer-implemented method comprising:

generating, by a computing system, a container reflecting collaboration by at least a content provider and a collaborator;

assigning, by the computing system, a first ephemeral media content item captured by the content provider to the container;

assigning, by the computing system, a second ephemeral media content item captured by the collaborator to the container; and

providing, by the computing system, the container in an element of an interface presentable to a user through which a plurality of ephemeral media content items are accessible by the user.

2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

expiring access by the user to the container; and

not presenting the container in the element upon expiration of access by the user to the container.

3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a selection of the collaborator from the content provider.

4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a selection of a second collaborator from the collaborator; and

assigning a third ephemeral media content item captured by the second collaborator to the container.

5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

removing the collaborator from collaboration relating to the container based on an input from the content provider.

6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

removing the collaborator from collaboration relating to the container based on an input from the collaborator.

7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the container is represented in the element by at least one of an identifier of the content provider, an identifier of the collaborator, and a thumbnail of an ephemeral media content item assigned to the container.

8 . A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform:

generating a container reflecting collaboration by at least a content provider and a collaborator;

assigning a first ephemeral media content item captured by the content provider to the container;

assigning a second ephemeral media content item captured by the collaborator to the container; and

providing the container in an element of an interface presentable to a user through which a plurality of ephemeral media content items are accessible by the user.

9 . The system of claim 8 , further comprising:

expiring access by the user to the container; and

not presenting the container in the element upon expiration of access by the user to the container.

10 . The system of claim 8 , further comprising:

receiving a selection of the collaborator from the content provider.

11 . The system of claim 8 , further comprising:

receiving a selection of a second collaborator from the collaborator; and

assigning a third ephemeral media content item captured by the second collaborator to the container.

12 . The system of claim 8 , further comprising:

removing the collaborator from collaboration relating to the container based on an input from the content provider.

13 . The system of claim 8 , further comprising:

removing the collaborator from collaboration relating to the container based on an input from the collaborator.

14 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the container is represented in the element by at least one of an identifier of the content provider, an identifier of the collaborator, and a thumbnail of an ephemeral media content item assigned to the container.

15 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:

generating a container reflecting collaboration by at least a content provider and a collaborator;

assigning a first ephemeral media content item captured by the content provider to the container;

assigning a second ephemeral media content item captured by the collaborator to the container; and

providing the container in an element of an interface presentable to a user through which a plurality of ephemeral media content items are accessible by the user.

16 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , further comprising:

expiring access by the user to the container; and

not presenting the container in the element upon expiration of access by the user to the container.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , further comprising:

receiving a selection of the collaborator from the content provider.

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , further comprising:

receiving a selection of a second collaborator from the collaborator; and

assigning a third ephemeral media content item captured by the second collaborator to the container.

19 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , further comprising:

removing the collaborator from collaboration relating to the container based on an input from the content provider.

20 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , further comprising:

removing the collaborator from collaboration relating to the container based on an input from the collaborator.
