A videogame services platform may include a streaming component that streams audio and video of gameplay performed on a first client device. The platform may identify content present in the stream and provide notification, to a broadcaster portal, that content present in the stream is available for purchase. An identifier of the content may be mapped to a stock keeping unit for a product containing the content. The product may be acquired using the stock keeping unit. The second client device may be updated to make the content available and authorized for use in gameplay on the second client device.

Game publisher and broadcaster integration platform

Functionality is disclosed herein for changing an application between a single-user session and multi-user session. An application enters a multi-user session in response to additional users being detected and authorized. The application may enter the multi-user session in response to another user being detected as being in proximity to a first user. Data indicating that an application is to switch between the single-user session and the multi-user session may be provided by a network-based multi-user service or another application. The application may communicate and send and receive data via an API. During the multi-user session, the application uses one or more preferences associated with users of the multi-user session instead of using just the preferences of a first user. One or more displays associated with the application might also be updated to reflect the multi-user session.
