Abstract: A method, including: receiving videos generated from sessions of a video game respectively associated to first client devices; for each video, determining location metadata that identifies spatial locations in a virtual environment of the video game at which gameplay depicted by the video occurs, the spatial locations defining a path of the gameplay; during a session of the video game associated to a second client device, determining a current spatial location in the virtual environment of gameplay occurring in the session; filtering the videos based on the current spatial location to identify one or more videos having paths that intersect a region proximate to the current spatial location; presenting, over the network, the identified one or more of the videos at the second client device; continuously tracking updates to the current spatial location and responsively updating the filtering of the videos based on said updates to the current spatial location.

Abstract: A method, including: receiving, over a network from a plurality of first client devices that execute respective sessions of a video game, videos generated from the respective sessions at the first client devices; for each video, receiving, over the network from one of the first client devices, location metadata that identifies spatial locations in a virtual environment of the video game at which gameplay depicted by the video occurs, the location metadata being correlated to video frames of the video and identifying the spatial location of the gameplay depicted by a given video frame; during a session of the video game executed by a second client device, receiving, over the network, a current spatial location in the virtual environment of gameplay occurring in the session; using the current spatial location to select one or more of the videos; presenting, over the network, the selected videos at the second client device.

Abstract: Game-specific screen share features can be provided to viewers of a video game livestream. The viewers can control a themed or adaptive cursor presented to the gamer during gameplay, and can also provide themed or adaptive sentiment-based reactions to the gamer during gameplay. The cursor and reactions can then be surfaced to the gamer a number of ways and can even be tied back into the game execution environment itself.
