Displaying a graphical user interface on a second-screen device. The graphical user interface can include a partial video stream displayed in a video display area on a touchscreen of the second-screen device and a contextual panel in an active display area on the touchscreen. The contextual panel can include content associated with the partial video stream. The displayed partial video stream can be associated with a video stream displayed by a primary display with the two displayed video streams being associated with the same content and substantially synchronized.

Various embodiments utilize a portable electronic device determining the relative physical location of a connected device and displaying a location indicator on a display of the portable electronic device. This location indicator can 'point' to the connected device and provide an indication as to how far away the connected device is. The portable electronic device can facilitate user interaction with the connected device.

Indicators for relative positions of connected devices

An application on a second-screen device can receive an advertisement stream and an interactive component.
