Methods, systems, and media for generating a notification in connection with a video content item

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, 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;

causing presentation of the notification to be inhibited on the plurality of user devices;

storing metadata that indicates content of the notification and an indication of 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 a second plurality of devices.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of topics from the plurality of messages are identified within the given period of time and wherein the method further comprises causing a creator interface to be presented on a user device associated with the content creator, wherein at least a subset of the plurality of topics are presented within the creator interface.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the method further comprises receiving a selection, via the creator interface, from the content creator, of the notification from the plurality of messages.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the method further comprises ranking the plurality of topics that are presented within the creator interface based on message popularity.

5. 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.

6. 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.

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

8. 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.

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

a hardware processor that is programmed to:

cause 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;

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

identify at least one topic included in a portion of the plurality of messages within a given period of time;

cause 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;

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

cause presentation of the notification to be inhibited on the plurality of user devices;

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

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

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein a plurality of topics from the plurality of messages are identified within the given period of time and wherein the hardware processor is further programmed to cause a creator interface to be presented on a user device associated with the content creator, wherein at least a subset of the plurality of topics are presented within the creator interface.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the hardware processor is further programmed to receive a selection, via the creator interface, from the content creator, of the notification from the plurality of messages.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the hardware processor is further programmed to rank the plurality of topics that are presented within the creator interface based on message popularity.

13. The system of claim 9 , 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.

14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the hardware processor is further programmed 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.

15. The system of claim 9 , wherein the notification indicates a number of the plurality of messages that include the at least one topic.

16. The system of claim 9 , 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.

17. 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, 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;

causing presentation of the notification to be inhibited on the plurality of user devices;

storing metadata that indicates content of the notification and an indication of 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 a second plurality of devices.
