Abstract: In one embodiment, a server computing machine provides an interface operable to permit a first user to broadcast a live video to one or more second users. The server computing machine provides sponsored content items to the second users while also providing the live video. In response to receiving an indication that the first user selected an option to display a sponsored content item while broadcasting the live video, the server computing machine reduces the image size of the live video, superimposes the live video of reduced size on the sponsored content item to define a combined image having a sponsored portion on which the sponsored content item is displayed and a live portion on which the live video is displayed. The combined image is then sent to the one or more second users.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include receiving an input indicating that a picture is to be taken using a camera on an electronic device. The method may next include taking the picture with the camera, and storing the associated picture data. Next, the method may include accessing the picture data to recognize the persons in the picture based on facial features associated with those persons. Still further, the method may include creating a group for the recognized persons, where the group is associated with the picture taken by the camera, and generating a collaborative group storyline for the created group that allows members of the group to add stories to the collaborative group storyline. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for creating multiple renditions of a social media composition may include (1) determining, on a user device including at least one processor, that a user has opened a social media application that allows user compositions to be viewed using multiple different consumption channels, (2) providing, on a display element of the user device, a composition screen configured to be used to create user compositions for use with any of the different consumption channels, (3) collecting, via the composition screen, user-selected content including (i) a media item submitted via the composition screen, (ii) text submitted via the composition screen and/or (iii) a metadata item submitted via the composition screen, and (4) in response to collecting the user-selected content, creating a first user composition to be viewed from a first consumption channel and/or a second user composition to be viewed from a second consumption channel, each of which is based on the user-selected content.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating digital shared story compositions may include (1) receiving, from a user's computing device, (i) a first user input initiating the creation of a shared story configured to include a collection of individual story compositions from different contributors and (ii) a second user input selecting one or more users as contributors to the shared story, (2) creating the shared story, and (3) adding, to the shared story, a digital story composition created by a contributor selected via the second user input. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for collecting multiple forms of digital content using a single landing screen may include (1) receiving, via a social media application installed on a user device, user input that triggers a composition creation process, (2) providing, via a display element of the user device, a composition landing screen with multiple landing spaces (e.g., a media space, a text space, and a metadata space), (3) receiving, from the composition landing screen, user content submitted to one or more of the landing spaces, and (4) creating a social media composition based at least in part on the user content received from the composition landing screen. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for sharing content and allowing users to react using storyline-based feedback may include receiving a first input identifying content is to be part of a story. The method may next include receiving a second input indicating that the story is available to receive storyline-based feedback. The storyline-based feedback may include ephemeral visual content related to the story. Users may join a conversation by adding such visual content. The method may further include posting the story for consumption by other specified users, receiving visual storyline-based feedback related to the posted story from different users, and updating the posted story with the received portions of storyline-based feedback in storyline form. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for capturing content may include (i) displaying, within a graphical user interface of a media recording application that records media through an input device, a clickable reaction button, (ii) receiving a click of the clickable reaction button within the graphical user interface of the media recording application, and (ii) in response to receiving the click of the clickable reaction button within the graphical user interface of the media recording application, performing both capturing, by the media recording application, media content through the input device recording metadata indicating that a user reacted to the captured media content such that the metadata specifies a reaction that corresponds to the clickable reaction button. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for digitally fetching music content may include (1) providing a user of a device with a music service accessible via the device, (2) receiving a digital user request to (i) select a music composition based on content from an additional music service and (ii) digitally fetch the music composition for use via the music service, and, in response to receiving the digital user request, (3) analyzing the content and selecting the music composition based on the analysis of the content, and (4) digitally fetching the music composition for use via the music service. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
