Lin had just paid for her coffee with Weixin Pay when a prompt invited her to shake her phone and reveal a wish. It came from a child supported by a charitable project. One tap was all it took — and no payment screen appeared, because a corporate donor will fund it. That’s Wishing Note, a new feature on Tencent Philanthropy Platform for this year’s 99 Giving Day. It turns real needs from charitable projects into digital wishes that people can discover, support and share with friends. With International Day of Charity this Saturday, it’s a reminder that doing good can take many forms, and technology can make it easier to take part. Discover more ways to do good on Weixin/WeChat. https://lnkd.in/ez_Z2zfv #99GivingDay #DigitalPhilanthropy #TechForGood

Growing up online means learning to navigate spaces that were not designed with young people in mind. Real protection is built layer by layer, through safer choices, age-appropriate design, and everyday safeguards that work quietly in the background of daily life. Across Weixin, QQ and other Tencent services, Minor Mode helps families manage access, features and content, from screen time to spending limits. Alongside expert consultation, online training sessions, and AI-powered support, it is helping more than 44 million users feel more confident about how young people explore the digital world.

Press start. That’s usually where it begins, whether it was on a console at a friend’s house or a family computer nobody was supposed to be using after dinner. A character you loved, a world you didn’t want to log off from, people who ended up sticking around way longer than the game itself. Somewhere along the way it turns into more than just a way to pass time. Games get people talking, competing, showing up for each other even when they’re on opposite sides of the world. Communities form around them, sometimes without anyone really planning it that way, and years later you realize the game wasn’t really the point. The people were. Sometimes a shared game is all it takes. #PlayBelongsToUsAll #VideoGames #GamingForGood #GameCommunity

Worlds of Play: The Game Art Exhibition turned Wassermannhalle in Cologne into an immersive celebration of the creativity and artistry behind video games. Across six themed zones, guests embarked on new adventures and revisited familiar worlds through large-scale artwork, interactive installations and cosplay performances. Crowds gathering at the Worlds of Play exhibition are a reminder that video games are as much about real world communities, shared stories and experiences as they are about the worlds on screen. #WorldsOfPlay #GameArt

Games in hand. Screens lit up mid match. Thousands of people came to Cologne for one reason: their love of video gaming. That was the feeling inside gamescom this year, and it didn’t slow down for a second. #gamescom

The fun in game development doesn't start on a screen. It starts on the show floor, in the space between developers and the players who show up to test what they've built. At gamescom, our game developers and creators talk about why real conversations with players, including the feedback that's hard to hear, keep development exciting. Every title played years from now starts with a candid conversation like these. #gamescom

What can running a wine bar teach you about building AI? Camus Ma went from working at Palantir and Google to opening a wine bar right next to her old office. Today, she is an AI Solutions Architect at Tencent. Time behind the bar taught her to pay close attention to how people behave and how problems take shape. She later returned to tech, just as she had planned. At Tencent, Camus brings those lessons to her work in AI. She sees the technology as rooted in human data, lived experience, and context. In a field where there is always something new to discover, curiosity keeps her learning. Watch Camus's journey from tech to hospitality and back again. #LifeAtTencent
