    Patent number: 11677794
    Abstract: Technologies for streaming multi-user broadcasts include a broadcast management server configured to receive multimedia data captured of a user. The broadcast management server streams a multimedia broadcast including the multimedia data captured of the user to other users. Additionally, the broadcast management server is configured to receive a request to participate in the streamed multimedia broadcast from another user. Multimedia data captured of the other user is received in response to a determination that the request to participate in the streamed multimedia broadcast is accepted. The broadcast management server merges the multimedia data captured of the first and second users to generate a merged multimedia broadcast, which is streamed to other users. The broadcast management server also generates a broadcast feed for users. The broadcast feed includes streaming multimedia broadcasts and streaming merged multimedia broadcasts corresponding to other users. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
