In some embodiments, an electronic device presents a plurality of representations of content items that are available on a respective channel in response to successfully subscribing the respective channel. In some embodiments, an electronic device plays content that is provided by a channel in a unified media browsing application. In some embodiments, an electronic device presents information about subscribing to a channel based on content consumption activity of the user on the electronic device in accordance with some embodiments of the disclosure.

A live media streaming system and method is presented herein. The system and method includes broadcasting a live media stream in at least one of a plurality of themed broadcasting channels, the live media stream being transmitted from a broadcasting device corresponding to a broadcasting user. A jump zone (a physical region or area) is selected or defined based upon predetermined jump zone criteria corresponding to the at least one of the plurality of themed broadcasting channels. Further, a next broadcasting user is selected, wherein the user is located within the physical geographic region of the jump zone. Once the next broadcasting user is selected, a live media stream is broadcasted from the next user's broadcasting device.

A method for transmitting a content by a terminal is provided. The method includes sending a request for multi-point transmission for the content to a display device, receiving information about a first transmission rate between the display device and an access point (AP) from the display device, determining a first content distribution ratio for the display device and a second content distribution ratio for the terminal based on a demanded transmission rate for transmission of the content and the first transmission rate, sending information about at least one of the first content distribution ratio and the second content distribution ratio to the display device, receiving a second content portion corresponding to the second content distribution ratio of the content from a content server, and sending the second content portion to the display device.
