Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for generating a video stream for followers of an influencer during a session. The method includes capturing video images of an environment of the influencer, wherein the environment includes the influencer viewing an online content channel. The method includes detecting surface parameters in the environment and processing the surface parameters to identify three-dimensional features associated with the surface parameter. The method includes identifying a follower that is viewing the influencer. The method includes generating an overlay image for at least one of the surface parameters, the overlay image is configured for dynamic contouring to the identified three-dimensional features during the session. The overlay image is selected based on a profile of the follower so that the video stream received by the follower when viewing the influencer is customized based on the profile of the follower.

The session includes a current content channel being viewed by the influencer and made available for streaming to one or more followers of the influencer. The current content channel is one of a plurality of content channels made available for viewing by the influencer. The method includes accessing, during the session, content data from the plurality of content channels. The content data is associated with gameplay of one or more players engaged in gameplay. The method includes accessing profile data of the followers of the influencer. The profile data includes content preferences of said followers. The method includes predicting engagement metrics for said followers of the influencer in relation to said plurality of content channels. The engagement metrics are updated in substantial real time based on change occurring with the content data in plurality of content channels. The method includes generating an influencer interface for presenting said predicted engagement metrics. The engagement metrics are configured to provide indicators of when engagement metrics for the current content channel indicate a predicted decrease relative to a predicted increase when switching to a different content channel from among the plurality of content channels available during the session.
