  • Patent number: 12212816
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a system transmits a shared presentation to user devices associated with users. Then, in response to an inquiry from a first user associated with a first viewing device, the system identifies that an answer to this inquiry was covered in a previous portion of the presentation, and generates auxiliary data (e.g., an auxiliary video stream of the shared presentation) corresponding to the previous portion of the presentation. The system then causes the first viewing device to display the auxiliary data corresponding to the previous portion of the presentation, which includes an answer to the first user's inquiry, in lieu of the shared presentation. In an example, the auxiliary data may be played back at a speed that is faster than the default speed of the shared presentation.
