A client device of a game streaming system generates an overlay that identifies discontinuities and other changes in features between streamed frames. The client device receives a stream of frames, representing game content for display, from a server via a network. The client device analyzes the received frames to identify discontinuities and other changes in features of the plurality of frames, such as a particular feature changing one or more of position, size, texture, or other visual characteristic between successively received frames. The client device generates the overlay to indicate the identified features and displays the overlay with at least one of the received frames.

A method performed at an electronic device includes: executing an application; establishing a session between the executing application, a remote server associated with the application, and a media device that transmits output from the session to an output device, wherein the output from the session includes output from the executing application; and presenting to users of one or more second electronic devices on which the application is not executing and/or installed a session identifier associated with the session, wherein the session identifier facilitates joining of the session by the second electronic devices and identifies a controller configuration implementable on each of the one or more second electronic devices for enabling the users of the one or more second electronic devices to interact with the session.
