Abstract

A method for live streaming recommended content from a content request includes live streaming a first content from a first user side, activating a live reaction at the first user side, and providing the content request at a second user side when the live reaction is enabled. The method also includes determining a second content, sending the content request indicating the second content, and receiving a confirmation at the second user side indicating the content request being sent. The method further includes receiving, at the first user side, the content request sent from the second user side, approving the content request at the first user side, and after the content request is approved, live streaming from the first user side, the second content corresponding to the content request.

streaming, from the user device of the first user to the user device of the second user, a video corresponding to the content request; and

during the streaming, providing an instant messaging communication for interaction between the first user and the second user.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the content request is sent in response to the second user clicking on an icon in the interface of the streaming application.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein

the video is one of a plurality of videos and the content request is one of a plurality of content requests, and
