Method and system for aggregating live streams

1. A method, comprising:

receiving live video streams from different live streaming platforms;

presenting the live video streams to users in video tiles in an aggregated live streaming platform;

allowing the users to navigate and select among the video tiles of the aggregated live streaming platform to view and interact with the live video streams;

analysing the live video streams to identify the live video streams with and without advertising; and

for the live video streams without advertising, visually indicating availability to add advertising to the live video streams in the video tiles.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the availability to add advertising to the live video streams is visually indicated in the video tiles by icons.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, for live video streams with advertising, identifying a type, timing and location of the advertising in the live video streams.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising configuring the aggregated live streaming platform to perform two or more operations selected from:

managing the live video streams;

manipulating the live video streams;

broadcasting the live video streams;

curating the live video streams;

hosting the live video streams;

editing the live video streams;

switching between the live video streams;

sequencing the live video streams;

fragmenting the live video streams;

adding advertising to the live video streams;

adding pre-recorded video to the live video streams;

adding text or graphics to the live video streams;

providing live engagement tools during the live video streams;

providing live questions and answers during the live video streams;

providing live polls during the live video streams;

providing live audience chat during the live video streams;

providing personalized feeds of the live video streams to the users;

receiving live votes for the live video streams from the users;

receiving live rewards from the users for creators of the live video streams;

notifying the creators that their live video streams have started live streaming on the aggregated live streaming platform;

notifying the users that the live video streams have started live streaming on the aggregated live streaming platform based on viewing history, likes and follows;

recommending the live video streams to the users based on viewing history, likes and follows;

allowing the users to discover the live video streams based on viewing history, likes and follows;

allowing the users to navigate the live video streams;

allowing the users to select the live video streams for viewing;

allowing the users to like the live video streams;

allowing the users to share the live video streams with other users;

allowing the users to comment on the live video streams;

allowing the users to follow the creators of the live video streams;

allowing the users to recommend the live video streams to other users;

allowing the users to communicate with other users during the live video streams;

allowing the different live streaming platforms to integrate their live video streams into the aggregated live streaming platform.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the icons are icon buttons labelled “AD”.

6. The method of claim 3 , further comprising adding additional advertising having a different type, timing and location to the live video streams.

7. A system, comprising:

a non-transitory memory; and

one or more hardware processors coupled to the non-transitory memory and configured to read instructions from the non-transitory memory to cause the system to perform operations comprising:

receiving live video streams from different live streaming platforms;

presenting the live video streams to users in video tiles in an aggregated live streaming platform;

allowing the users to navigate and select among the video tiles of the aggregated live streaming platform to view and interact with the live video streams;

analysing the live video streams to identify the live video streams with and without advertising; and

for the live video streams without advertising, visually indicating availability to add advertising to the live video streams in the video tiles.

8. A non-transitory machine-readable medium having stored thereon machine-readable instructions executable to cause a machine to perform operations comprising:

receiving live video streams from different live streaming platforms;

presenting the live video streams to users in video tiles in an aggregated live streaming platform;

allowing the users to navigate and select among the video tiles of the aggregated live streaming platform to view and interact with the live video streams;

analysing the live video streams to identify the live video streams with and without advertising; and

for the live video streams without advertising, visually indicating availability to add advertising to the live video streams in the video tiles.
