System and methods for integrated multistreaming of media with graphical overlays
This present disclosure describes a system and methods for integrated multistreaming of media with graphical overlays. At least one method includes a multistream service and graphical overlays hosted by a server infrastructure; a user configuring both the multistream service and graphical overlays on the server infrastructure; a user playing video games on a computer, using broadcasting software to authenticate with the server infrastructure; the broadcasting software capturing video of the user's computer session; the software retrieving the user's custom graphical overlay from the server infrastructure, encoding the video signal and graphical overlay; the software using the same aforementioned authentication to upload the encoded video to a multistream service, and the multistream service streaming the user's encoded video simultaneously to multiple streaming services.
1. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more machine-readable, non-transitory storage mediums that include instructions configured to cause the one or more processors to:
establish communication with a plurality of streaming services that are configured to receive and transmit information;
receive, from a client computing platform, video content defined by an image and/or audio captured from the client computing platform associated with a user;
receive, from a first streaming service of the plurality of streaming services, a first set of viewer input information associated with a first user's interaction with the first streaming service of the plurality of streaming services;
receive, from a second streaming service of the plurality of streaming services, a second set of viewer input information associated with a second user's interaction with the second streaming service of the plurality of streaming services, wherein the second streaming service is different from the first streaming service;
responsive to the reception of the first set and the second set of viewer input information, apply a first video overlay to the video content, wherein the first video overlay is based on the first set of viewer input information, and apply a second video overlay to the video content, wherein the second video overlay is based on the second set of viewer input information; and
provide the plurality of streaming services with the video content,
wherein the video content for the first streaming service includes the first video overlay and the video content with the first video overlay is only distributed to users associated with the first streaming service, and
wherein the video content for the second streaming service includes the second video overlay and the video content with the second video overlay is only distributed to users associated with the second streaming service.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein instructions are further configured to cause the one or more processors to: receive, from the client computing platform, a user account information associated with a user, wherein the user account information includes information associating the user account information of the user with the different streaming services.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured by machine-readable instructions to obtain the video overlays, wherein the video overlays are obtained from non-transitory storage media configured to store overlay content information and overlay configuration information corresponding to video overlays.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the overlay content information for the given video overlay that defines an image and/or audio of the given video overlay and overlay configuration information for the given video overlay specifies values for one or more settings that define application of the image and/or audio of the given video overlay to the video content.
5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the one or more settings that define the application of the image and/or audio of the given video overlay to the video content includes one or more of one or more setting that specify positions of the image of the given video overlay applied to the video content, one or more setting that specify a duration of the image and/or audio of the given video overlay applied to the video content, and/or one or more setting that specify a real-time event trigger defining when the image and/or audio of the given video overlay is applied to the video content.
6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the video content includes an image of the user's face, wherein the image of the given video overlay is positioned relative to the user's face based on the one or more settings that define the application of the image and/or audio of the given video overlay to the video content.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of streaming services are each hosted on different servers.
8. A method comprising:
establishing communication with a plurality of streaming services that are configured to receive and transmit information;
receiving, from a client computing platform, video content defined by an image and/or audio captured from the client computing platform associated with a user;
receiving, from a first streaming service of the plurality of streaming services, a first set of viewer input information associated with a first user's interaction with the first streaming service of the plurality of streaming services;
receiving, from a second streaming service of the plurality of streaming services, a second set of viewer input information associated with a second user's interaction with the second streaming service of the plurality of streaming services, wherein the second streaming service is different from the first streaming service;
responsive to the reception of the first set and the second set of viewer input information:
applying a first video overlay to the video content, wherein the first video overlay is based on the first set of viewer input information; and
applying a second video overlay to the video content, wherein the second video overlay is based on the second set of viewer information; and
providing the plurality of streaming services with the video content,
wherein the video content for the first streaming service includes the first video overlay and the video content with the first video overlay is only distributed to users associated with the first streaming service including the first user, and
wherein the video content for the second streaming service includes the second video overlay and the video content with the second video overlay is only distributed to users associated with the second streaming service including the second user.
9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
receiving, from the client computing platform, a user account information associated with a user, wherein the user account information includes information associating the user account information of the user with the different streaming services.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the method further includes obtaining the video overlays, wherein the video overlays are obtained from non-transitory storage media configured to store overlay content information and overlay configuration information corresponding to video overlays.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the overlay content information for the given video overlay that defines an image and/or audio of the given video overlay and overlay configuration information for the given video overlay specifies values for one or more settings that define application of the image and/or audio of the given video overlay to the video content.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the one or more settings that define the application of the image and/or audio of the given video overlay to the video content includes one or more of one or more setting that specify positions of the image of the given video overlay applied to the video content, one or more setting that specify a duration of the image and/or audio of the given video overlay applied to the video content, and/or one or more setting that specify a real-time event trigger defining when the image and/or audio of the given video overlay is applied to the video content.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the video content includes an image of the user's face, wherein the image of the given video overlay is positioned relative to the user's
face based on the one or more settings that define the application of the image and/or audio of the given video overlay to the video content.
14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the streaming services are each hosted on different servers.
