Claims

1. A method comprising: At a first electronic device having one or more processors, a memory, a touch-sensitive surface, and a display: Displaying an instant messaging user interface on the display, the instant messaging user interface including a transcript of a conversation between a user of the first electronic device and at least one other user, wherein: The conversation transcript includes representations of media items displayed at chronological locations within the conversation transcript, and The instant messaging session is configured to allow simultaneous viewing of the media item by the user at the first electronic device and by the at least one other user at a second electronic device different from the first electronic device; receiving, within the instant messaging user interface, a first request for synchronously viewing the media item; in response to receiving the first request, starting playback of content corresponding to the media item while displaying the representation of the media item at the chronological position within the transcript of the conversation; After starting to play the content corresponding to the media item, displaying the played content corresponding to the media item at a fixed position different from the time sequence position in the instant messaging user interface; When the playback content corresponding to the media item is displayed at the fixed position: displaying messages exchanged between the user and the at least one other user below the playback content corresponding to the media item; detecting an end of the content corresponding to the media item; and In response to detecting the end of the content corresponding to the media item, ceasing to display the content corresponding to the media item at the fixed position.

2. The method according to claim 1, comprising: receiving an indication that the at least one other user has manipulated the playback content corresponding to the media item; as well as, In response to receiving the indication, presentation of the playback content corresponding to the media item is modified at the first electronic device according to the manipulation from the at least one other user. 3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the manipulation comprises fast-forwarding the playing content, rewinding the playing content and / or pausing the playing content.

4. A method according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the representation of the media item is added to the conversation transcript by the user.

5. The method of any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the representation of the media item is added to the conversation transcript by the at least one other user.

6. The method according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the first request is received via the second electronic device.

7. The method of any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the first request is received via the user at the first electronic device.

8. The method according to any one of claims 1 to 3, comprising: Before displaying the playback content corresponding to the media item at the fixed position: Displaying messages exchanged between the user and the at least one other user within the instant messaging user interface, wherein displaying the messages comprises displaying the messages under the playback content corresponding to the media item, such that a position of the playback content corresponding to the media item within the instant messaging user interface moves toward a top portion of the instant messaging user interface; and Based on determining that the chronological position is within a predetermined distance of the top portion of the instant messaging user interface, the playback content corresponding to the media item is displayed at the fixed position within the instant messaging user interface.

9. The method according to any one of claims 1 to 3, comprising: detecting an input while displaying the playback content corresponding to the media item at the fixed position; In response to detecting the input, scrolling the conversation transcript; as well as While scrolling the conversation transcript, based on determining that the chronological position of the media item is within a predetermined distance of the fixed position, the playback content is moved to the chronological position while continuing to play the playback content.

10. The method of any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein detecting the end of playing of the content corresponds to receiving a request to end playing of the content.

11. The method of any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein detecting the end of playback of the content corresponds to reaching the end of playback of the content.

12. An electronic device comprising: monitor; Touch-sensitive surfaces; one or more processors; and A memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs comprising instructions for executing the method according to any one of claims 1 to 11.

13. A computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions which, when executed by an electronic device having a display and a touch-sensitive surface, cause the electronic device to perform the method according to any one of claims 1 to 11.

14. A computer program product, comprising one or more programs, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the method according to any one of claims 1 to 11.
