Systems and methods select and provide video snippets in a matrix interface. Example methods include obtaining a portion of a live video stream, assigning the portion to a class, determining that the portion is preview-eligible, and generating a snippet of the live video stream using the portion. Other example methods include determining, using a trained video classifier, a set of live broadcasts that have at least one portion that is classified as preview-eligible, calculating, for each of the live broadcasts in the set, an aggregate score for the live broadcast, selecting live broadcasts with highest aggregate scores, generating a snippet for each of the selected live broadcasts, and providing the snippets in a user interface. Methods may also include selecting portions of live video streams that are responsive to a user-provided parameter and generating a snippet for each live video stream that has a preview-eligible portion.
