Methods and systems for virtual on-set communication are provided. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, from a device of a first user, an input indicating that the first user is ready to start working on a project associated with the first user. The method also includes identifying, based on the project associated with the first user, a second set of users associated with the project. The method also includes generating a session identifier for a communication channel between the first user and one or more users of the second set of users. The method also includes generating messages for the communication channel, wherein the messages include a link to the communication channel. The method also includes transmitting the messages to the one or more users of the second set of users. The method also includes receiving stream of images from the first user's device while the stream of images are being captured, transmitting the stream of images to the second set of users, receiving, from the second set of users, messages related to the stream of images.
