Abstract

Methods, systems, and media for generating a notification in connection with a video content item are provided. In some embodiments, the method comprises: causing a video content item and a message interface to be presented on a plurality of user devices, wherein the video content item is created by a content creator; receiving, from at least a portion of the plurality of user devices, a plurality of messages via the message interface; identifying at least one topic included in a portion of the plurality of messages within a given period of time; causing a notification that indicates the at least one topic to be superimposed on the presentation of the video content item on the plurality of user devices; determining that the at least one topic is no longer included in more than a predetermined number of the plurality of messages; and causing presentation of the notification to be inhibited on the plurality of user devices.

Claims (43)

1. A method for generating a notification in connection with video content, the method comprising:

causing a video content item and a message interface to be presented on a plurality of user devices;

receiving, from at least a portion of the plurality of user devices, a plurality of messages via the message interface;

determining whether to present a notification that indicates at least one topic has been included in a portion of the plurality of messages within a given period of time; and

in response to the determination, causing a creator interface to be presented on a user device associated with a content creator, wherein the at least one topic is presented within the creator interface; and

causing the notification to be superimposed on the presentation of the video content item on the plurality of user devices in response to receiving a selection, via the creator interface, from the content creator, of the notification.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

storing metadata that indicates the notification and indicates a time period of the video content item during which the notification was presented; and

using the stored metadata to present the notification in connection with presentation of the video content item on the plurality of devices.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining that the at least one topic is no longer included in more than a predetermined number of the plurality of messages; and

inhibiting the notification from being presented in response to determining that the at least one topic is no longer included in more than a predetermined number of the plurality of messages.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of topics from the plurality of messages are identified within the given period of time.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising ranking the plurality of topics that are presented within the creator interface based on message popularity.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the at least one topic further comprises determining that a keyword is included in more than the predetermined number of the plurality of messages.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a size of a visual representation of the notification based on a number of the plurality of messages that include the at least one topic.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification indicates a number of the plurality of messages that include the at least one topic.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein causing the notification to be superimposed on the presentation of the video content item further comprises generating a composite video content item that includes the notification.

10. A system for generating a notification in connection with video content, the system comprising:

a hardware processor that:

causes a video content item and a message interface to be presented on a plurality of user devices;

receives, from at least a portion of the plurality of user devices, a plurality of messages via the message interface;

determines whether to present a notification that indicates at least one topic has been included in a portion of the plurality of messages within a given period of time; and

in response to the determination, causing a creator interface to be presented on a user device associated with a content creator, wherein the at least one topic is presented within the creator interface; and

causes the notification to be superimposed on the presentation of the video content item on the plurality of user devices in response to receiving a selection, via the creator interface, from the content creator, of the notification.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the hardware processor further:

stores metadata that indicates the notification and indicates a time period of the video content item during which the notification was presented; and

uses the stored metadata to present the notification in connection with presentation of the video content item on the plurality of devices.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the hardware processor further:

determines that the at least one topic is no longer included in more than a predetermined number of the plurality of messages; and

inhibits the notification from being presented in response to determining that the at least one topic is no longer included in more than a predetermined number of the plurality of messages.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein a plurality of topics from the plurality of messages are identified within the given period of time.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the hardware processor is further configured to rank the plurality of topics that are presented within the creator interface based on message popularity.

15. The system of claim 10 , wherein identifying the at least one topic further comprises determining that a keyword is included in more than the predetermined number of the plurality of messages.

16. The system of claim 10 , where the hardware processor is further configured to determine a size of a visual representation of the notification based on a number of the plurality of messages that include the at least one topic.

17. The system of claim 10 , wherein the notification indicates a number of the plurality of messages that include the at least one topic.

18. The system of claim 10 , wherein causing the notification to be superimposed on the presentation of the video content item further comprises generating a composite video content item that includes the notification.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to execute a method for generating a notification in connection with video content, the method comprising:

causing a video content item and a message interface to be presented on a plurality of user devices;

receiving, from at least a portion of the plurality of user devices, a plurality of messages via the message interface;

determining whether to present a notification that indicates at least one topic has been included in a portion of the plurality of messages within a given period of time; and

in response to the determination, causing a creator interface to be presented on a user device associated with a content creator, wherein the at least one topic is presented within the creator interface; and

causing the notification to be superimposed on the presentation of the video content item on the plurality of user devices in response to receiving a selection, via the creator interface, from the content creator, of the notification.
