Abstract: Embodiments relate to providing a method for an authenticated user of an item of streaming media content to create a shareable clip of a portion of the item. The method comprises using an interface on a first device to accept, from the authenticated user, a first input to define the clip and a second input to create a comment; creating an identifier, uniquely corresponding to the authenticated user and the clip; and sending the identifier and the comment to a second user in a form that includes a clickable link. If the second user clicks on the clickable link, the clip is streamed to the second user to play on a second device, independent of whether the second user is authorized to access the whole of the content. The clickable link expires either after a predetermined time or after a predetermined number of plays by the second user.

Abstract: Embodiments generally relate to proving a method for an authenticated user of an item of streaming media content to create a shareable clip of a portion of the item. The method comprises using an interface on a first device to accept a first input from the authenticated user to define the clip; using the interface to accept a second input from the authenticated user to create a comment for the clip; creating an identifier for the clip, the identifier uniquely corresponding to the authenticated user and the defined clip; and sending the identifier and the comment to a second user in a form that includes a clickable link. If the second user clicks on the clickable link, the defined clip is streamed to the second user to play on a second device, independent of whether the second user is authorized to access the whole of the content.
