Systems and methods for integrated audioconferencing

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

detecting that a certain user of a messaging application, which enables audioconferencing between its users, has selected a drop-in mode that enables audioconferencing between (1) the certain user and (2) other users with access to a drop-in link corresponding to the certain user;

providing the drop-in link to contacts of the certain user in a messaging interface of the messaging application, wherein (1) the messaging interface comprises a contact list of users of the messaging application, (2) providing the drop-in link in the messaging interface comprises providing the drop-in link within an entry of the contact list corresponding to the certain user, and (3) providing the drop-in link to contacts of the certain user comprises providing the drop-in link to all of the certain user's contacts; and

in response to determining that a contact of the certain user has selected the drop-in link, automatically initiating an audioconference between the certain user and the contact.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein (1) the messaging interface comprises a contact summary interface and (2) the messaging application provides each user of the messaging application with an instance of the messaging interface in which the contact list comprises contacts of the user, and (3) providing the drop-in link to all of the certain user's contacts comprises providing the drop-in link to each contact for which there is an entry for the certain user with the contact list of the instance of messaging interface configured for the contact.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein automatically initiating the audioconference comprises adding the contact to the audioconference without obtaining approval from the certain user specifically approving the contact to be added to the audioconference.

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

determining that a plurality of contacts of the certain user, comprising the contact, have selected the drop-in link; and

in response to determining that the plurality of contacts have selected the drop-in link, hosting a group audioconference between the certain user and the plurality of contacts by automatically adding each of the contacts to the audioconference.

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

identifying audio content being digitally consumed by the certain user; and

streaming the audio content to a device of the contact.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein the audio content comprises at least one of music or a podcast.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the drop-in link comprises a graphic of headphones.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising enabling users participating in the audioconference to transition to participating in a videoconference.

9. A system comprising:

at least one physical processor;

physical memory comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the physical processor, cause the physical processor to:

detect that a certain user of a messaging application, which enables audioconferencing between its users, has selected a drop-in mode that enables audioconferencing between (1) the certain user and (2) other users with access to a drop-in link corresponding to the certain user;

provide the drop-in link to contacts of the certain user in a messaging interface of the messaging application, wherein (1) the messaging interface comprises a contact list of users of the messaging application, (2) providing the drop-in link in the messaging interface comprises providing the drop-in link within an entry of the contact list corresponding to the certain user, and (3) providing the drop-in link to contacts of the certain user comprises providing the drop-in link to all of the certain user's contacts; and

in response to determining that a contact of the certain user has selected the drop-in link, automatically initiate an audioconference between the certain user and the contact.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein (1) the messaging interface comprises a contact summary interface, (2) the messaging application provides each user of the messaging application with an instance of the messaging interface in which the contact list comprises contacts of the user, and (3) providing the drop-in link to all of the certain user's contacts comprises providing the drop-in link to each contact for which there is an entry for the certain user with the contact list of the instance of the messaging interface configured for the contact.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein automatically initiating the audioconference comprises adding the contact to the audioconference without obtaining approval from the certain user specifically approving the contact to be added to the audioconference.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the physical processor to:

determine that a plurality of contacts of the certain user, comprising the contact, have selected the drop-in link; and

in response to determining that the plurality of contacts have selected the drop-in link, host a group audioconference between the certain user and the plurality of contacts by automatically adding each of the contacts to the audioconference.

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the physical processor to:

Identify audio content being digitally consumed by the certain user; and

stream the audio content to a device of the contact.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the audio content comprises at least one of music or a podcast.

15. The system of claim 9 , wherein the drop-in link comprises a graphic of headphones.

16. The system of claim 9 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the physical processor to enable users participating in the audioconference to transition to participating in a videoconference.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising one or more computer-readable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to:

detect that a certain user of a messaging application, which enables audioconferencing between its users, has selected a drop-in mode that enables audioconferencing between (1) the certain user and (2) other users with access to a drop-in link corresponding to the certain user;

provide the drop-in link to contacts of the certain user in a messaging interface of the messaging application, wherein (1) the messaging interface comprises a contact list of users of the messaging application, (2) providing the drop-in link in the messaging interface comprises providing the drop-in link within an entry of the contact list corresponding to the certain user, and (3) providing the drop-in link to contacts of the certain user comprises providing the drop-in link to all of the certain user's contacts; and

in response to determining that a contact of the certain user has selected the drop-in link, automatically initiate an audioconference between the certain user and the contact.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein (1) the messaging interface comprises a contact summary interface, (2) the messaging application provides each user of the messaging application with an instance of the messaging interface in which the contact list comprises contacts of the user, and (3) providing the drop-in link to all of the certain user's contacts comprises providing the drop-in link to each contact for which there is an entry for the certain user with the contact list of the instance of the messaging interface configured for the contact.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the one or more computer-readable instructions further cause the computing device to:

identify audio content being digitally consumed by the certain user; and

stream the audio content to a device of the contact.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the drop-in link comprises a graphic of headphones.
