7. The media of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving an additional user selection of one of the first plurality of actuatable controls corresponding to a selected recommended active user of the one or more recommended active users; and
responsive to receiving the additional user selection, initiating a communication session between the user and the selected recommended active user.
8. A method for providing recommendations for connecting a user with one or more users in a group-based communication system, the method comprising:
identifying one or more recommended active users based on historical user activity between the user and each of the one or more recommended active users;
identifying one or more recommended active synchronous multimedia collaboration sessions comprising multimedia communications including at least audio;
causing display of a collaboration hub in a user interface of the group-based communication system, the collaboration hub comprising:
a list of the one or more recommended active users;
a first plurality of actuatable controls corresponding to the respective one or more recommended active users, the first plurality of actuatable controls configured to initiate at least one of a text-based communication session or a multimedia communication session with the respective one or more recommended active users;
a list of the one or more recommended active synchronous multimedia collaboration sessions; and
a second plurality of actuatable controls corresponding to respective recommended active synchronous multimedia collaboration sessions of the one or more recommended active synchronous multimedia collaboration sessions, configured to join the user to the respective recommended active synchronous multimedia collaboration session;
receiving a user selection of one of the second plurality of actuatable controls corresponding to a selected active synchronous multimedia collaboration session of the one or more recommended active synchronous multimedia collaboration sessions; and
responsive to receiving the user selection, joining the user to the selected active synchronous multimedia collaboration session.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the collaboration hub further comprises a set of user information for each recommended active user of the list of the one or more recommended active users, the user information including status information.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more recommended active synchronous multimedia collaboration sessions are identified based on activity within each respective synchronous multimedia collaboration session.
11. The method of claim 8 , wherein each active synchronous multimedia collaboration session of the list of the one or more recommended active synchronous multimedia collaboration sessions is associated with a respective group-based communication channel of the group-based communication system.
12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the collaboration hub further comprises one or more user indicators for each recommended active multimedia collaboration session indicating which users are currently in the respective recommended active multimedia collaboration session.
13. The method of claim 8 , wherein an order of recommended active users within the list of the one or more recommended active users is determined based on a communication frequency between the user and each respective recommended active user.
14. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
receiving an additional user selection of one of the first plurality of actuatable controls corresponding to a selected recommended active user of the one or more recommended active users; and
responsive to receiving the additional user selection, initiating a communication session between the user and the selected recommended active user.
15. A system for providing recommendations for connecting a user with one or more users in a group-based communication system, the system comprising:
a data store storing information associated with the group-based communication system; and
at least one processor programmed for:
identifying one or more recommended active users based on historical user activity between the user and each of the one or more recommended active users;
identifying one or more recommended active synchronous multimedia collaboration sessions comprising multimedia communications including at least audio;
causing display of a collaboration hub in a user interface of the group-based communication system, the collaboration hub comprising:
a list of the one or more recommended active users;
a first plurality of actuatable controls corresponding to respective recommended active users, the first plurality of actuatable controls configured to initiate at least one of a text-based communication session or a multimedia communication session with the respective one or more recommended active users;
