Abstract

See full text

Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to lightweight calling among users with avatar animation. A lightweight call can be a user-to-user interaction between users. For example, each users' system can stream lightweight call data to the other user system and output the lightweight call data. In some implementations, the output includes displaying animated avatar(s) and audio data for the lightweight call. For example, the streamed lightweight call data for a first user system can include avatar animation data for an avatar that represents that first user and audio data captured via microphone(s) of the first user system. A second user system can output the avatar animation data as an animated avatar and the corresponding audio data. Implementations of the lightweight call can be displayed via a lightweight call panel that includes side-by-side animated avatars representative of the call participants.
