Abstract:
Methods and systems are also provided herein for establishing a mode of communication between a first user and a second user when a media asset is in a lull. Control circuitry may determine that a first user perceives a segment of the media asset as a lull based on a first user profile. The control circuitry may retrieve a second user profile associated with a second user, and may determine that the second user also perceives the segment of the media asset to be a lull based on the second user profile. The control circuitry may responsively establish a mode of communication (e.g., a chat window) between the first user and the second user.
