Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that initiate communication between users of a networking system within an extended reality environment. For example, the disclosed systems can generate an extended-reality lobby window graphical user interface element for display on an extended-reality device of a user. The disclosed systems can further determine a connection between the user and a co-user and provide an animated visual representation of the co-user for display within the extended-reality lobby window graphical user interface element. In response to receiving user input targeting the animated visual representation of the co-user, the disclosed systems can generate and send, for display on an extended-reality device of the co-user, an invitation to join an extended-reality communication session with the user.
