Idea: Press on phone to make audio message & press on video call to make video message on Messenger, or tap once for audio or video call (#116)

Purpose is to make one press ability to make audio or video message. This approach then uses the same buttons as Snapchat Chat 2.0 where one tap on the call button calls and one tap on the video button makes a video call.

Press on the phone to make an audio message and press on the video to make a video message. Otherwise tap on phone to call and tap on video to make a video call. Designed by D.J. Sherrets.

Messenger & Snapchat today:

• Snapchat Chat 2.0 lets you one tap phone to call and press to make audio note, and one tap video to make a video call and press to make video note.
• Messenger has an audio button to tap then press another button to leave an audio note
• Messenger requires using a full size camera to send a video.

Proposed idea:

1. Start in message conversation. Press on phone button to record audio message then let go when done to cause to send.
2. Press on video button to record video message with front facing camera then let go to send video message.

Comments:

• Opportunity is to make audio and video messages easy to do.
• Reason to do this may be if Snapchat Chat 2.0 makes sense for connecting to the call and video call buttons.
• Reason to not do this is that may make more sense to connect this to pressing on the camera button or the audio button.
• This makes the audio button do same thing so may make sense to remove. But guessing better to do idea #114: https://medium.com/dj-sherrets/idea-one-press-camera-button-to-make-video-reply-or-one-press-audio-button-to-make-audio-reply-on-d55b691b10bb#.8c3ddkz8u.
