Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for inserting ads into a video. The program and method provide for receiving a request to play a video, the video comprising plural shots separated by breakpoints, each shot of the plural shots corresponding to a contiguous sequence of video frames that is free of cuts or transitions; initiating, in response to receiving the request, playback of the video from a selected shot of the plural shots; receiving indication of an ad to present at a breakpoint following the selected shot; determining, in response to receiving the indication, that a first threshold amount of time has passed since initiating the playback of the video; and inserting, based on the determining, the ad at the breakpoint following the selected shot.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for presenting videos in a playback sequence. The systems and methods receive, by a first client device, a message comprising an identifier of a first video from a second client device. The message is generated by the second client device responsive to a request to share the first video from a video playback graphical user interface (GUI) that automatically plays back a first plurality of videos in sequence. The systems and methods receive input by the first client device that selects the identifier of the first video. The systems and methods, in response to receiving the input, launch, by the first client device, the video playback GUI that automatically plays back a second plurality of videos in sequence and present, by the first client device, the first video corresponding to the identifier before presenting the second plurality of videos in the sequence.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for setting ad breakpoints in a video. The program and method provide for accessing a video; determining plural shot boundaries for the video, each shot boundary defining a shot corresponding to a contiguous sequence of video frames that is free of cuts or transitions; and for each shot boundary of the plural shot boundaries, performing a set of breakpoint tests on the shot boundary, each breakpoint test configured to return a respective score indicating whether the shot boundary corresponds to a breakpoint for potential insertion of an ad during playback of the video, calculating a combined score for the shot boundary based on combining the each of the respective scores, and setting, in a case where the combined score meets a threshold value, the shot boundary as the breakpoint.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for receiving location information for source data associated with a publisher identifier and determining a set of selectors associated with the publisher identifier, each selector comprising specified content to extract from the source data and one or more rules for extracting the specified content. The systems and method further provided for extracting from the source data, specified content for each selector of at least a subset of the set of selectors based on the one or more rules specified in each selector of the at least subset of the set of selectors, determining a first template to use to generate the media content item, the first template comprising regions corresponding to one or more selectors, populating each region of the first template using specified content for the corresponding selector and generating the media content item from the populated first template.

Abstract: A first application uses a user interface (UI) component of a second application to determine a user intent based on user input and then determines an action to perform based on the determined user intent. The first application makes it easier for the user to learn the UI of the second application. Example methods include a first application displaying a first content item, the first content item being content of the first application, and the first application displaying a second content item, the second content item being content of a second application. The method may further include in response to a second selection of a second user interface item associated with the second content item, the first application, determining a user intent and an action associated with the user intent based on a second user interface, the second user interface associated with the second application.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for notifying users about videos in a playback sequence. The systems and methods determine that a video that meets a criterion is currently available on a video server associated with a messaging client. In response to determining that the video that meets the criterion is currently available, the messaging client on the client device prefetches a sequence of videos from a recommendation engine that match a profile of a user associated with the messaging client. The recommendation engine is being used to provide sequence of videos to a video playback graphical user interface (GUI) that automatically plays back the videos in the sequence. The systems and methods determine that the video that meets the criterion is in a first position in the sequence of videos and, in response, present a notification that indicates the availability of the video on the video playback GUI.

Abstract: Systems and methods herein describe generating a unified content feed accessible from within a conversation thread. The systems and methods access a chat session between users on a messaging platform receive an input from a select user from within the chat session, the input corresponding to a unified content feed comprising shared content relevant to all users of the chat session and personalized content relevant only to the select user, in response to receiving the input, replaces the user interface associated with the chat session with a user interface associated with the unified content feed, and displays the user interface associated with the unified content feed on a computer device associated with the select user.
