Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can provide an interface through which a live content stream is presented, the live content stream being accessed through a content provider system and providing information describing a voting event for interacting with at least one broadcaster of the live content stream, the voting event including at least a first voting option and a corresponding first feedback option that is capable of being selected to vote for the first voting option by a user operating the computing device.

Claims (27)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

providing, by a computing device, an interface through which a live content stream is presented, the live content stream being accessed through a content provider system; and

providing, by the computing device, information describing a voting event for interacting with at least one broadcaster of the live content stream, the voting event including at least a first voting option and a corresponding first feedback option that is capable of being selected to vote for the first voting option by a user operating the computing device, wherein the first voting option corresponds to a first filter that is capable of being applied to the live content stream, wherein the first feedback option is able to be selected to vote for the first filter, and wherein application of the first filter causes a visual modification in the live content stream.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the first voting option corresponds to a first topic of interest, and wherein the first feedback option is capable of being selected to vote for the first topic of interest.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein at least one notification is sent to the at least one broadcaster after receiving a threshold number of votes for the first topic of interest, the notification requesting the broadcaster to speak on the first topic of interest.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein the voting event includes a second voting option corresponding to a second topic of interest, and wherein a second feedback option is capable of being selected to vote for the second topic of interest.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the first feedback option corresponds to at least one option that is capable of being selected through the content provider system.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein the first feedback option is at least one of a like option, a reaction option, posting a comment in response to the live content stream through the content provider system, or sharing the live content stream with other users of the content provider system.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the first filter is automatically applied to the live content stream after receiving a threshold number of votes for the first filter.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the voting event includes a second voting option corresponding to a second filter, and wherein a second feedback option is capable of being selected to vote for the second filter.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the visual modification corresponds to at least a text overlay, graphical overlay, virtual doodle, text animation, graphical animation, or placement of a face mask.

10. A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform:

providing an interface through which a live content stream is presented, the live content stream being accessed through a content provider system; and

providing information describing a voting event for interacting with at least one broadcaster of the live content stream, the voting event including at least a first voting option and a corresponding first feedback option that is capable of being selected to vote for the first voting option by a user operating the computing device, wherein the first voting option corresponds to a first filter that is capable of being applied to the live content stream, wherein the first feedback option is able to be selected to vote for the first filter, and wherein application of the first filter causes a visual modification in the live content stream.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the first voting option corresponds to a first topic of interest, and wherein the first feedback option is capable of being selected to vote for the first topic of interest.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein at least one notification is sent to the at least one broadcaster after receiving a threshold number of votes for the first topic of interest, the notification requesting the broadcaster to speak on the first topic of interest.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the voting event includes a second voting option corresponding to a second topic of interest, and wherein a second feedback option is capable of being selected to vote for the second topic of interest.

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the first feedback option corresponds to at least one option that is capable of being selected through the content provider system.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:

providing an interface through which a live content stream is presented, the live content stream being accessed through a content provider system; and

providing information describing a voting event for interacting with at least one broadcaster of the live content stream, the voting event including at least a first voting option and a corresponding first feedback option that is capable of being selected to vote for the first voting option by a user operating the computing device, wherein the first voting option corresponds to a first filter that is capable of being applied to the live content stream, wherein the first feedback option is able to be selected to vote for the first filter, and wherein application of the first filter causes a visual modification in the live content stream.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the first voting option corresponds to a first topic of interest, and wherein the first feedback option is capable of being selected to vote for the first topic of interest.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein at least one notification is sent to the at least one broadcaster after receiving a threshold number of votes for the first topic of interest, the notification requesting the broadcaster to speak on the first topic of interest.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the voting event includes a second voting option corresponding to a second topic of interest, and wherein a second feedback option is capable of being selected to vote for the second topic of interest.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the first feedback option corresponds to at least one option that is capable of being selected through the content provider system.
