Abstract

There is provided a systemincluding a memory and a processor configured to stream a media content for playback to afirst media device for viewing by a first user, receive, while streaming the media content, an input from the first media device indicating an insertion point in the media contentselected by the first user for inserting a contextual message provided by the first user,receive the contextual message from the first media device, stream the media content for playback to a second media device for viewing by a second user, and deliver the contextualmessage to the second media device for viewing by the second user when streaming the media content to the second media device reaches the insertion point

Claims

1. A system comprising: a non-transitory memory storing an executable code; and a hardware processor executing the executable code to: stream a media content for playback to a first media devicefor viewing by a first user; receive, while streaming the media content, an input from the first media device indicating an insertion point in the media content selected by the first user for inserting a contextual message provided by the first user; receive the contextual message from the first media device; stream the media content for playback to a second media device for viewing by a second user; and deliver the contextual message to the second media device for viewing by the second user when streaming the media content to the second media device reaches the insertion point. 11. A method for use with a system including a hardware processor and a non-transitory memory, the method comprising: streaming, using the hardware processor, a media content for playback to a first media device for viewingby a first user; receiving, using the hardware processor, while streaming the media content, an input from the first media device indicating an insertion point in the media content selected by the first user for inserting a contextual message provided by the first user; receiving, using the hardware processor, the contextual message from the first media device; streaming, using the hardware processor, the media content for playback to a second media device for viewing by a second user; and delivering, using the hardware processor, the contextual message to the second media device for viewing by the second user when streaming the media content to the second media device reaches the insertion point.
