A method that incorporates teachings of the subject disclosure may include, for example, accessing, by a system comprising a processor, a content display configuration corresponding to a plurality of feed selections from a plurality of media content feeds, a plurality of display selections from a plurality of available displays, and a plurality of pairing selections assigning each feed selection of the plurality of feed selections to at least one display selection of the plurality of display selections, and transmitting a plurality of displayable content streams according to the content display configuration. Other embodiments are disclosed.

This present disclosure describes a system and methods for interactive filters in live streaming multimedia. At least one method includes a user playing video games on a computer, using streaming software to combine all or part of their computer session with their local camera feed, using streaming software to encode and stream the encoded video to one or more streaming services, streaming services displaying the video stream to one or more viewers, said viewers interacting with the video via the streaming service, the user's streaming software retrieving data about viewer interactions, the streaming software using a computer vision algorithm to detect the position of an object in the user's camera feed, such as the user's face or hands, the streaming software retrieving animation code, the streaming software using the detected position of the detected object to generate a graphical image that aligns with and follows the detected object in the local camera feed, the streaming software adding the graphical image to the video stream in direct response to viewer interactions, and said graphical image being inserted into the video stream prior to the video being published for viewers to consume by the streaming service.

A disclosed digital media device operational at user premises to receive media signals from a media source for presentation via endpoint devices such as a television display. The digital media device can include gateway and digital media management functionality and can be referred to as a gateway and digital media device. The device offers application services obtained over a wide area network and a user premises network. The digital media device may form a composite signal from the media signal and application service information, for example, for a composite audio and/or video signal for television type presentation to the user. The digital media device may receive a selection signal based on the presentation, for transmission to the application service provider device or to the media source. The media device also offers a GUI presenting a moveable arrangement of icons for selectively accessing application services.

A function of a device is displayed as a first display on a client device, and local user authentication information is displayed as a second display according to the function of the device selected on the first display on the client device.

A method and an apparatus for interactions in a live broadcast room are disclosed. The method may include: in response to an opening operation for a question interaction function in a live broadcast room: obtaining at least one piece of question information from a server and displaying the at least one piece of question information in a first display area of the live broadcast room, in which the at least one piece of question information is sent by at least one audience client to the server; obtaining an interaction parameter value corresponding to each piece of question information from the server; and adjusting a position of the question information in the first display area based on the interaction parameter value corresponding to each piece of question information.

Mechanisms are provided for allowing a mobile device to dynamically obtain program guide data. A mobile device having the capability of playing media streams is configurable to dynamically request program guide structure information followed by program guide content information. In one example, the program guide structure information allows a user to begin navigating the program guide data in an active and dynamic manner. Program guide content information including data such as program titles, times, icons, and links are then downloaded and displayed as needed. Potentially limitless amounts of program guide data can be provided on a mobile device. Program guide content information can be provided in a generic manner while allowing user layout customization. Program guide information can also be preemptively provided to a mobile device based on a variety of criteria.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to use station identification to enable confirmation of exposure to live media. Example apparatus disclosed herein include a watermark data segmenter to determine a media identifier conveyed by a watermark, a detection time determiner to determine a time at which a media meter detected the watermark from a media presentation by a media device, a reference identifier to query a library of reference signatures for a reference signature associated with the media identifier of the watermark and associated with a reference timestamp corresponding to the time at which the media meter detected the watermark, and a viewing type determiner to determine whether the media presentation is live or time-shifted based on whether a result of the query indicates the reference signature does not exist in the library of reference signatures.

Video footage captured by A/V recording and communication devices may be readily uploaded to the cloud and shared with a requesting party, such as a law enforcement agency. When a request is received from a requesting party for video footage, videos meeting the criteria specified by the requesting party may be determined. Consent requests may then be sent to users associated with each of the A/V recording and communication devices that recorded the videos meeting the criteria specified by the requesting party. When user consents to share the videos, the videos may be provided to the requesting party.
