Methods, systems, and media for facilitating interaction between viewers of a stream of content are provided. In some embodiments, the method comprises: receiving a request to begin presenting a stream of content, wherein the stream of content corresponds to a collection of videos presented sequentially; identifying a counter value associated with a duration of time elapsed since a creator of the stream of content initiated presentation of the stream of content; determining a playback position of the stream of content based on the counter value; causing the stream of content to be presented at the determined playback position; receiving an input to display a chat interface; and causing the chat interface to be presented in connection with the presentation of the stream of content, wherein the chat interface includes messages transmitted from a plurality of user devices that are also presenting the stream of content.

A user device provides a user interface for video manipulation with face replacement. A method of implementations includes accessing a video comprising a plurality of frames that comprise one or more faces, providing a plurality of stickers comprising alternate face graphics for the one or more faces, receiving, via a user interface of a user device, user selection of one of the stickers and a selected face of the one or more faces, accessing a plurality of face frame sequences of the video, wherein each face frame sequence is a sequence of frames of the video comprising the selected face of the one or more faces, and replacing the selected face with the selected sticker in a first face frame sequence of the plurality of face frame sequences and in a second face frame sequence of the plurality of face frame sequences.

Video manipulation with face replacement

A user device provides a user interface for video manipulation with face replacement. A method of implementations includes accessing a video comprising a plurality of frames that comprise one or more faces, providing a plurality of stickers comprising alternate face graphics for the one or more faces, receiving, via a user interface of a user device, user selection of one of the stickers and a selected face of the one or more faces, accessing a plurality of face frame sequences of the video, wherein each face frame sequence is a sequence of frames of the video comprising the selected face of the one or more faces, replacing the selected face with the selected sticker in each face frame of the plurality of face frame sequences, and animating the selected sticker in the each face frame of the plurality of face frame sequences.

A user device provides a user interface for video manipulation with face replacement. The user device accesses a source video including a group of frames and one or more faces. The user device also provides a set of stickers with alternate face graphics. Upon receiving selection of one of the stickers, one of the faces and one of the frames that includes the face from a user, the user device accesses a face frame sequence. The face frame sequence is a sequence of frames including the selected frame. And each frame of the face frame sequence includes the selected face. The user device sends to a server a request to replace the selected face with the selected sticker in the frame sequence and receives a manipulated video in response to the request, where the selected face is replaced with the selected sticker in each frame of the frame sequence.

The subject matter of this specification can be implemented in, among other things, a method that includes providing a mid state, a fullscreen state, and a miniplayer state of a touchscreen user interface for presentation on a touchscreen device. The mid state presents a first video from a queue of videos and portions of a previous video or a next video from the queue of the videos. The fullscreen state expands the first video to fit the touchscreen user interface without presentation of the portions of the previous video or the next video. The miniplayer state shrinks the first video to fit a list of videos for a user account within the touchscreen user interface.
