Embodiments provide systems and methods for conducting a media-based interaction between a host user and a plurality of audience users. According to one embodiment, conducting a media-based interaction between a host user and a plurality of audience users can comprise managing a queue of a plurality of questions. Each question of the plurality of questions can be presented by one of the plurality of audience users. An interactive media session can be initiated between the host user and the plurality of audience users and a question from the queue of the plurality of questions can be presented to the host user. An answer to the question provided by the host user can be streamed in the interactive media session and recorded and the queue of the plurality of questions can be updated to remove the question provided to the host user.

Joint media broadcasting and live media methods and systems

Once a group communication such as a video conference has been initiated, embodiments of the present disclosure provide for equitably managing the conference so that each participant can be given a chance to speak or contribute. For example, and according to one embodiment, the participants can be placed into a rotating queue based upon the order in which they joined the conference. As the conference progresses, each participant can be allowed to speak, while the other participants are muted, for up to a predetermined amount of time. Once that time expires, or the speaker yields the remaining time, the next participant in the rotating queue can be allowed to speak for up to the same predetermined amount of time. This rotation can continue for up to a predetermined number of rotations, a predetermined amount of time for the conference, or until the participants otherwise end the conference.

Methods and systems for managing an electronic group communication in an equitable manner

Embodiments of the systems, methods, and computer readable medium devices disclosed herein provide a sentiment analysis system that can determine sentiment from an input of a user received from a device. Once the input is received, parsing and analysis can be performed to determine a particular sentiment corresponding to the input. The system can determine an overall sentiment of some or all of the users or viewers watching a particular video stream, such as a live video stream. The determined overall sentiment can represent a metric indicating what users generally feel about a portion of the video stream, and the system can use the determination to cause modification of the video stream or a future video stream to enhance the user experience.
