Abstract:
Viewers of a video stream may generate video clips including different portions of the video stream. Popularity measures may be computed for the video clips, for example based on tracked actions associated with the video clips, such as frequency of playing and sharing of the video clips. The popularity measures may be used to select and provide video clips to viewers. Video items may be generated by streamers, such as may include selected portions of video of streamers playing a game. A video item generated by a particular streamer may be displayed to viewers only during times when that particular streamer is participating in an active game session. Viewers of the video item may provide input that allows viewers to receive a live stream of the streamer's active game session that it is being played simultaneously with the display of the video item.
