  • Publication number: 20240129573
    Abstract: A processing system receives a user-generated media recording, and metadata associated with the user-generated feedback, from a first device. The user-generated media recording is a recording of the public end-user captured during a live media broadcast using a public-user interface on the first device. The metadata includes information linking the user-generated media recording to the live media broadcast. The system stores the user-generated media recording and the first metadata in one or more storage devices, and transmits a version of the user-generated media recording and at least a portion of the first metadata to a private-user interface on a second device. The private-user interface is configured to receive input from a private end-user selecting the version of the user-generated media recording for broadcast during the same live media broadcast during which the user-generated media recording was created.

The server computer receives a command for the avatar to store a phrase selected by the user in a location associated with a virtual object within the extended reality world. The server computer displays, within the presentation of the extended reality world on the computing device, the avatar storing the phrase at the location in the extended reality world.
