1. A system comprising:
- at least one processor; and
one or more computer-readable storage media including instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by the at least one processor, cause the system perform operations including;
detecting that a participant in a communication session sends a message;
identifying a visual representation of the participant within a graphical user interface (GUI) for the communication session;
ascertaining a linking configuration for visually linking the message to the visual representation of the user based on whether the user is an active participant or a passive participant in the communication session; and
presenting at least a portion of the message within the GUI by visually linking the message to the visual representation of the participant within the GUI and according to the linking configuration.

Abstract
Techniques for presenting a message in a communication session are described. In at least some embodiments, a message is sent by a participant in a communication session. The message is presented in a graphical user interface (GUI) for the communication session and visually linked to a visual representation of the participant. According to one or more implementations, a number of messages that are presented in a GUI for a communication session is throttled.

16. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
-
detecting that messages are sent as part of a communication session by one or more participants in the communication session; ascertaining whether the messages exceed a threshold number of messages sent over a specified period of time; and presenting an indication of the messages within a graphical user interface (GUI) for the communication session based on whether the messages exceed the threshold number of messages sent over the specified period of time. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
