The virtual channel may also be associated with a live point that indicates a portion of a particular video file of the plurality of video files that is streaming at a global clock time. The virtual channel may be provided within a virtual video stream according to the global clock time. The techniques further include receiving a request from a user device for the virtual channel at the global clock time, and then providing the virtual video stream to the user device for presentation of the particular video file at the live point of the particular video file scheduled for streaming at the global clock time.
