Abstract
Methods and systems provide for a spatial chat view within a messaging platform. First, the system displays, for a number of participants within a messaging session, a user interface consisting of: a virtual background; one or more spatialized avatars representing the participants overlaid on the virtual background; and a message composing component. The system displays, adjacent to each of a subset of the spatialized avatars, one or more chat bubbles corresponding to messages sent by one or more of the participants represented by the subset of the spatialized avatars. Concurrently or subsequently, the system determines an availability status for each of the plurality of participants, and then displays, within or adjacent to each of the spatialized avatars, a visual indicator of the availability status of the participant represented by the spatialized avatar.
