Abstract: The disclosure herein relates to providing a video/audio event-driven platform in digital environments. Particularly, the disclosure relates to systems and methods for controlling the video/audio content stream within a video playing session, automatically responding to events allowing the user to continue in a preferred engagement. The methods support operating a media terminal to present a first segment of video content in a first presentation mode, while a second presentation mode, associated with detectable video content events, may be used for a second segment.
