Abstract: A system and method are presented for sharing an audio-visual stream from a server system with a plurality of participant computer systems and for the automated generation of portions. Each participant computer system provides audio and visual data which is converted into the audio-visual stream by the server system. The server system then shares the audio-visual stream with the participant computer systems. During the audio-visual stream, a participant computer can request a portion at a time T. The server will automatically generate a portion audio-visual file using audio and visual data from the stream extending from before time T to after time T. After creation of the portion, the participant computer can modify the timing of the portion and can modify the visual presentation of the portion.

Abstract: A system and method are presented for content control and monitoring in a multi-party video stream using a specialized user interface (UI). Particular participants are identified as luminaries and allowed to specify off-limit topics. Other participants are presented UIs that require agreement to avoid off-limit topics. All participants are immediately able to report problem behavior during the stream through the provided UI. Reports made through this interface immediately result in quarantining compensation and streaming content including reports relating to the off-limit topics. Administrative UIs allow for quicker understanding of the reporting issues, quicker review of the potentially offending stream, and quicker resolution of the report.

Abstract: A system and method are presented for the creation and management of live audio-visual streams between multiple parties. An organizing computer system requests a system server to establish a stream with a limited, preset number of slots. Other computer systems request to join the stream. Once the present number of slots is filled, a queue is established for waiting computer systems. Participating computer systems can be limited in their participation to a present time period, after which they are removed from the streams. Removal of one computer system from the stream opens a slot for another, which is filed from the queue of waiting computer systems. The queue can be sorted through a variety of means, including FIFO and auction.
