Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for viewing angle switching for live broadcasts and on demand video playback. A method includes, in a media server residing in a network of interconnect computers, the media server including a processor and a memory, receiving a plurality of real-time video input streams and an associated session entity from a client device in the network, enabling a producer to select streams from the received plurality of real-time video input stream and assigned angles, recording the selected streams and angles in a media mix container, transcoding the selected streams and angles, and publishing the transcoded selected streams and angles to a content delivery network.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for call-in participation for a live video broadcast. A method includes, in a server residing in a network of interconnected computers, alerting a media player of a call-in feature during a live streaming broadcast, receiving an indication from a viewer of the media player to participate in the live streaming broadcast, receiving audio/video device specifications from the media player, and dispatching an active participant stream to be used in conjunction with the live streaming broadcast.
