Abstract:
A dynamic media player is disclosed. A method for providing the dynamic media player includes presenting a media player in a first portion of a user interface (UI) of a content sharing platform on a mobile device. The media player is to provide playback of a media item. The method further includes receiving, via a second portion of the UI, a user request to perform an activity that is independent of the viewing of the media item. The method further includes presenting content associated with the requested activity while continuing to provide playback of the media item in the media player of the first portion of the UI.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for providing supplemental content in relation to embedded media. In one implementation, a processing device receives a media request from a third-party platform to incorporate a first media item within the third-party platform. The processing device identifies one or more additional media items based on the media request. The processing device provides the first media item and one or more links to at least one of the one or more additional media items in relation to the third-party platform.
Abstract:
In one aspect, a method is provided, including the following method operations: receiving a request to generate a first post data item at a first location; providing for presentation of the first post data item at a second location; receiving a request to generate a second post data item at the second location, the second post data item being in reply to the first post data item; identifying a destination for notification about the second post data item; providing in association with the destination a notification identifying the second post data item, the notification being associated with the first location.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and media for recommending collaborators of media content based on authenticated media content input are provided. In some implementations, the method comprises: receiving a request from a content creator to initiate presentation of broadcasted media content using a media device, wherein the request invites a plurality of users to participate in the broadcasted media content; determining that a user of the plurality of users has interacted with the broadcasted media content, wherein the user has been permitted to interact with the broadcasted media content in response to providing user authentication information; determining collaborator information associated with the user based on the user authentication information; and automatically causing, without user interaction, the determined collaborator information to be presented to the content creator for associating with the broadcasted media content.
Abstract:
In accordance with some embodiments, methods for presenting advertisements during video presentation are provided, the methods comprising: receiving a media content item to be presented, wherein the media content item comprises video content that includes audio data to be presented during presentation of the video data; determining that a video presentation application is in a presentation mode that inhibits video data; receiving an advertisement to be presented during presentation of the media content item; causing the media content item to be presented in the presentation mode; causing the advertisement to be presented during presentation of the media content; detecting a user action indicative of user attention to at least a portion of the presented advertisement; and performing a further action in response to detecting the user action, which causes information other than the advertisement to be presented by the user interface.
Abstract:
An SSO provider— i.e., a provider of user accounts that a number of other online services accept as a sign-on technique— identifies the online services to which its users sign on, as well as the digital content items that those users access. The SSO provider uses this information to associate particular content items with particular online services, or combinations of online services. The SSO provider can then use the associations to make recommendations of content items to users based on the services to which the users have signed on.
Abstract:
Offline sharing of content is performed. An offline request to share content associated with a content sharing platform to a social networking service is received by a processing device of a user device. The offline request is received while the user device is not connected to a network. A share request is generated for the content in view of the social networking service. The share request for the content is generated while the user device is not connected to the network. Upon determining that a network connection is available, the share request for the content is provided to the social networking service.
Abstract:
A processing device determines a rendering mode for a media item being presented in a user interface on a mobile device. The rendering mode is one of multiple rendering modes. The processing device determines a set of captioning parameters that corresponds to the rendering mode of the media item and provides captioning for the media item in the user interface based on the set of captioning parameters that corresponds to the rendering mode.
Abstract:
