presenting, by the processing device, a messaging user interface with the stream of the video game provided by the event platform, wherein:

each of the one or more participants participate in the video game via an event application on a respective participant device connected to the event platform via a network,

the plurality of viewer messages are communicated to each of the one or more participants,

the stream of the video game is presented on a screen of a participant device of a participant of the one or more participants, and

the stream of the video game is provided to each viewer of the plurality of viewers for playback by a media player on a respective viewer device connected to the event platform via the network; and

presenting, within the messaging user interface on the screen of the participant device of the participant, the participant messages of the one or more participants of the video game and the plurality of viewer messages of the plurality of viewers while concurrently presenting the stream of the video game on the screen of the participant device of the participant,

wherein the viewer messages are presented concurrently with the participant messages in the messaging user interface on the screen of the participant device of the participant based on the one or more inputs of the one or more participants for the set of message presentation configurations.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising providing the set of message presentation configurations to permit the participant to customize message presentation of the messaging user interface.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the set of message presentation configurations comprises an option to permit the participant to configure an appearance of one or more participant messages.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the appearance is related to at least one of a font, color, typeset, style, size, or text effect.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving viewer messages entered via a content platform interface, the viewer messages being associated with different event identifiers; and

selecting one or more viewer messages corresponding to an event identifier of the video game for presentation within the messaging user interface.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving participant messages associated with different event identifiers; and

selecting one or more participant messages corresponding to an event identifier of the video game for presentation within the messaging user interface.

7. A system comprising:

a memory; and

a processing device coupled to the memory, the processing device to perform operations comprising:

receiving one or more inputs of one or more participants of a video game for a set of message presentation configurations of messages that relate to a stream of the video game provided by an event platform, the one or more inputs of the one or more participants comprising a request to change organization of messages to visually segregate participant messages of the one or more participants of the video game from a plurality of viewer messages entered by a plurality of viewers of the video game;

presenting a messaging user interface with the stream of the video game provided by the event platform, wherein:

each of the one or more participants participate in the video game via an event application on a respective participant device connected to the event platform via a network,

the plurality of viewer messages are communicated to each of the one or more participants,

the stream of the video game is presented on a screen of a participant device of a participant of the one or more participants, and

the stream of the video game is provided to each viewer of the plurality of viewers for playback by a media player on a respective viewer device connected to the event platform via the network; and

presenting, within the messaging user interface on the screen of the participant device of the participant, the participant messages of the one or more participants of the video game and the plurality of viewer messages of the plurality of viewers while concurrently presenting the stream of the video game on the screen of the participant device of the participant,

wherein the viewer messages are presented concurrently with the participant messages in the messaging user interface on the screen of the participant device of the participant based on the one or more inputs of the one or more participants for the set of message presentation configurations.

8. The system of claim 7 , the operations further comprising providing the set of message presentation configurations to permit the participant to customize message presentation of the messaging user interface.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the set of message presentation configurations comprises an option to permit the participant to configure an appearance of one or more participant messages.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the appearance is related to at least one of a font, color, typeset, style, size, or text effect.

11. The system of claim 7 , the operations further comprising:

receiving viewer messages entered via a content platform interface, the viewer messages being associated with different event identifiers; and

12. The system of claim 7 , the operations further comprising:

receiving participant messages associated with different event identifiers; and

selecting one or more participant messages corresponding to an event identifier of the video game for presentation within the messaging user interface.

13. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

receiving one or more inputs of one or more participants of a video game for a set of message presentation configurations of messages that relate to a stream of the video game provided by an event platform, the one or more inputs of the one or more participants comprising a request to change organization of messages to visually segregate participant messages of the one or more participants of the video game from a plurality of viewer messages entered by a plurality of viewers of the video game;

presenting a messaging user interface with the stream of the video game provided by the event platform, wherein:

each of the one or more participants participate in the video game via an event application on a respective participant device connected to the event platform via a network,

the plurality of viewer messages are communicated to each of the one or more participants,

the stream of the video game is presented on a screen of a participant device of a participant of the one or more participants, and

the stream of the video game is provided to each viewer of the plurality of viewers for playback by a media player on a respective viewer device connected to the event platform via the network; and

presenting, within the messaging user interface on the screen of the participant device of the participant, the participant messages of the one or more participants of the video game and the plurality of viewer messages of the plurality of viewers while concurrently presenting the stream of the video game on the screen of the participant device of the participant,

wherein the viewer messages are presented concurrently with the participant messages in the messaging user interface on the screen of the participant device of the participant based on the one or more inputs of the one or more participants for the set of message presentation configurations.

14. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 13 , the operations further comprising providing the set of message presentation configurations to permit the participant to customize message presentation of the messaging user interface.
