 providing, to a device of the user, the recommended media item based on the user's interaction with the conversation. 
   
     
     
         3 . The media server of  claim 2 , wherein the instructions further include instructions for receiving, from a first media device of the user, an access request for the recommended media item that is distinct from the information received from the user's interaction within a conversation. 
     
     
         4 . The media server of  claim 3 , wherein the recommended media item is provided to the first media device of the user. 
     
     
         5 . The media server of  claim 2 , wherein the information is received from a third media device of the user and the recommended media item is provided to a fourth media device of the user that is distinct from the third media device. 
     
     
         6 . The media server of  claim 2 , wherein the recommended media item is provided without interaction from the third-party conversational messaging environment. 
     
     
         7 . The media server of  claim 2 , wherein the instructions further include instructions for providing notifications to the user that reflect the user's usage of the third-party conversational messaging environment. 
     
     
         8 . The media server of  claim 2 , wherein the instructions further include instructions for providing statistics to the user that reflect the user's usage of a digital media content environment. 
     
     
         9 . A method, comprising:
 at a media server that provides access to digital media content within a third-party conversational messaging environment, the media server including one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs:
 receiving, via an application programming interface (API), information from a user's interaction within a conversation of the third-party conversational messaging environment; 
 determining, via a recommendation engine, a recommended media item based on the user's interaction within the conversation; 
 providing, to a device of the user, the recommended media item based on the user's interaction with the conversation. 
   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising, receiving, from a first media device of the user, an access request for the recommended media item that is distinct from the information received from the user's interaction within a conversation. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the recommended media item is provided to the first media device of the user. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the information is received from a third media device of the user and the recommended media item is provided to a fourth media device of the user that is distinct from the third media device. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the recommended media item is provided without interaction from the third-party conversational messaging environment. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising providing notifications to the user that reflect the user's usage of the third-party conversational messaging environment. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising providing statistics to the user that reflect the user's usage of a digital media content environment.
