The disclosure provides a live streaming interaction method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium. The method comprises: receiving an invitation request from a first terminal; transmitting the invitation request to a second terminal, and receiving an acceptance information for the invitation request that is returned by the second terminal; and on the basis of the acceptance information, transmitting to a viewer terminal a connection instruction used for connecting with a second GS so that the viewer terminal stops the connection with a live streaming server and connects to the second GS so as to control a character of the same game as an anchor terminal. In the live streaming interaction method disclosed in the disclosure, a game can be combined with live streaming.

A method and apparatus for game teaming in live streaming, and an electronic device and a computer-readable storage medium, relating to the technical field of computers. The method comprises: receiving a game teaming request, the game teaming request comprising user information of multiple game participants, the multiple game participants comprising a live streaming anchor user and at least one live streaming viewer user, the live streaming viewer user satisfying a specified live streaming teaming condition (S210); sending the game teaming request to a gaming platform (S220); and displaying a game teaming instruction returned by the gaming platform, so that the multiple game participants enter the gaming platform according to the game teaming instruction (S230).

An apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a communications interface to receive game data from an external data source and to receive video data from a plurality of video sources. The apparatus also includes a memory storage unit to store the game data and the video data. Furthermore, the apparatus includes an aggregator to select a video from the video data, wherein the video is associated with an event in the game data. The apparatus additionally includes a notification engine to generate a notification to be transmitted via the communications interface.

Methods and apparatus provide for: generating image data for an application to be displayed on an output device; recording the image data generated by the image generating unit; and receiving operation information from an input device, where the recording includes storing the image data for an application for a predetermined period of time up to the point in time at which operation information is received during the receiving operation information from a specific input unit provided in the input device while displaying an application image.

A computing system is configured to execute a computer program on a server and to provide a video stream of the program output to a geographically remote client over a communication network. The computing system is further configured to provide executable content of the computer program to the client over the communication network in parallel with the video stream. When a sufficient amount of the executable content has been provided to the client execution of the computer program is transitioned from the server to the client. The transition optionally includes communicating a state of the computer program from the server to the client. The executable content can be provided to the client in an order that is determined based on the state of the computer program. Those parts of the executable content deemed most likely to be necessary to support game play on the client are given priority.
