A method for authenticating a secure credential transfer to a device includes verifying user identity and device identity. In particular, the method includes verifying user identity by requesting and receiving a user identification input at a first client device and verifying device identity of a second client device by (i) determining a security status of the second client device from hardware of the second client device, (ii) invoking an identifier related to the security status of the second client device to an authentication server, and (iii) obtaining certification from the authentication server for the second client device based on the invoked identifier. After verifying the user identity and the device identity, the method includes establishing a secure channel between the first client device and the second client device for the secure credential transfer using one or more tokens generated by the authentication server.

A computing device may include one or more dynamically configurable user input devices. In one example, a triggering event, such as, for example, a user input at a user interface of the computing device, may be detected in connection with an application running on the computing device. In response to the detected triggering event, individual elements of the user interface, such as, for example, keys of a keyboard, may be configured, and/or re-configured, to correspond to the input received and/or the application running on the computing device.

A video is analyzed to identify interest level for a plurality of frames. The interest level is determined based on analysis of the content of each of the plurality of frames or how often other clients view the frames or take actions while viewing the frames. Frames are clustered and key frame locations are determined for each of the clusters. Key frames are given a higher buffering priority than non key frames. Buffering of key frames is prioritized based on key frame interest level. Key frames are also utilized to enable a client to skip forward or backward between key frames and view content that is likely to be of interest to the user.

Determining interest levels in videos

Aspects relate to transcoding a video at substantially the same time as the video is streamed so that upon completion of streaming, the transcoded video is available for immediate download. The transcoding can be performed on a client device or on a host device. Portions of the video can be tagged such that only the tagged portions are transcoded and made available for downloading. The tagged portions can be merged into a single file. Notification of the availability of the video can be broadcast. The broadcast can be controlled so as to be a public notification or a selective notification that is broadcast to a specified set or sets of individuals. Further, video chats can be recorded and compared so that a downloaded version of the video chat is an enhanced version of the information rendered on a user device.
