Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining portions of video content from a video game from video game server(s) associated with a video game provider, selecting a first portion of video content from the portions of the video content, and providing the first portion to device(s) associated with viewer(s). Each device presents the first portion of the video content. Further embodiments include obtaining popularity information from the device(s) according to feedback based on presenting the first portion of the video content to the device(s), determining that the popularity information satisfies a popularity threshold associated with the video content, determining a subject matter corresponding to the first portion of the video content, and identifying a second portion of the video content from the video game to be recorded according to the subject matter. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A computer implemented method comprises: displaying an input interface that prompts a user for tournament data; receiving tournament data; displaying an input interface that prompts the user for scoreboard data; receiving scoreboard data; operating a computerized game tournament according to the tournament data; generating a customized tournament scoreboard, customized for the tournament being operated, according to the scoreboard data and data generated by the operation of the tournament; and dis playing player information on the customized tournament scoreboard.

A system and method for targeted gaming news and media feeds is provided. Information about an interaction by a user with an interactive content title and a plurality of interactive content titles may be stored in memory. A processor executes instructions stored in memory, wherein execution of the instructions by the processor analyzes the information stored in memory regarding interaction by a user with an interactive content title and identifies one or more keywords that characterize the user interaction with the interactive content title. Media stored in a database may be filtered based on the identified keywords and displayed within a targeted media feed on a user device of the user. The displayed targeted media may be updated based on new information regarding user interaction with the interactive content title.

In esports a game firm has a game played by a gamer and shown on a third party viewing platform. To the firm, the platform is a middleman. The customer of the platform should be a customer of the firm. The gamer guides a viewer to watch the gamer on a read only copy of the game installed on the viewer's computer. The platform is bypassed. The viewer is now the firm's customer. The firm monetizes with ads and subscriptions. A viewer can be a tour guide of the game to other viewers.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining portions of video content from a video game from video game server(s) associated with a video game provider, selecting a first portion of video content from the portions of the video content, and providing the first portion to device(s) associated with viewer(s). Each device presents the first portion of the video content. Further embodiments include obtaining popularity information from the device(s) according to feedback based on presenting the first portion of the video content to the device(s), determining that the popularity information satisfies a popularity threshold associated with the video content, determining a subject matter corresponding to the first portion of the video content, and identifying a second portion of the video content from the video game to be recorded according to the subject matter. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Systems and methods are provided for integrating supplemental overlay content within streaming video content that is to be broadcast to viewer devices. The overlay content to include in the streaming video content may be dynamically determined during video streaming and incorporated within individual frames of the video data, such as by a computing device of a user who is broadcasting his play of a video game or other activity, prior to the user's computing device sending those video frames (with embedded overlay content therein) to a streaming platform to be broadcast to potentially many viewers' devices.

Methods and systems for content processing are described. In one embodiment, gaming data is received from a gaming source server. The gaming data associated with a game. A content signal is received from a signal source during presentation of programming content. The programming content is associated with the content signal and the game. A determination of whether the content signal includes the trigger is made. The device content is presented using the gaming data. The device content is in synchronization with the presentation of the programming content based on a determination that the content signal includes a trigger. Additional methods and systems are disclosed.
