Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media can provide one or more candidate stickers through a display screen of a computing device. A determination can be made that a user has selected a first sticker from the one or more candidate stickers. The first sticker can be inserted as a graphical overlay in a content item. The first sticker can reference first content.

Claims (40)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving, by a computing system, a list of audio content accessed by followers of a user;

determining, by the computing system, audio content being played on a computing device;

receiving, by the computing system, a search performed by the user;

providing, by the computing system, one or more candidate stickers based on the list of audio content, the audio content being played, and the search performed by the user;

determining, by the computing system, that the user has selected a first sticker from the one or more candidate stickers; and

inserting, by the computing system, the first sticker as a visual overlay in a content item, wherein the inserting comprises:

determining at least one of an elapsed time or a frame of the content item at which to insert the first sticker; and

inserting the first sticker in the content item at the elapsed time or the frame.

2. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the list of audio content is obtained from the at least one music streaming service through one or more publicly available application programming interfaces (APIs).

3. The computer implemented method of claim 1 ,

wherein an application to play audio content associated with the first sticker is installable based on selection of the first sticker.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the visual overlay includes content visually representing the first content.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the first content corresponds to at least an album, a song, a movie, a video, or other audio or video content.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the first sticker is able to be selected to play the first content.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the first sticker is able to be selected to download the first content.

8. 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:

receiving a list of audio content accessed by followers of a user;

determining audio content being played on a computing device;

receiving a search performed by the user;

providing one or more candidate stickers based on the list of audio content, the audio content being played, and the search performed by the user;

determining that the user has selected a first sticker from the one or more candidate stickers; and

inserting the first sticker as a visual overlay in a content item, wherein the inserting comprises:

determining at least one of an elapsed time or a frame of the content item at which to insert the first sticker; and

inserting the first sticker in the content item at the elapsed time or the frame.

9. The system of claim 8 ,

wherein an application to play audio content associated with the first sticker is installable based on selection of the first sticker.

10. 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:

receiving a list of audio content accessed by followers of a user;

determining audio content being played on a computing device;

receiving a search performed by the user;

providing one or more candidate stickers based on the list of audio content, the audio content being played, and the search performed by the user;

determining that the user has selected a first sticker from the one or more candidate stickers; and

inserting the first sticker as a visual overlay in a content item, wherein the inserting comprises:

determining at least one of an elapsed time or a frame of the content item at which to insert the first sticker; and

inserting the first sticker in the content item at the elapsed time or the frame.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 ,

wherein an application to play audio content associated with the first sticker is installable based on selection of the first sticker.
