The present disclosure is directed toward systems and methods for providing a call to action in connection with a live video stream. For example, systems and methods described herein enable a broadcaster to configure one or more benefits and one or more calls to action. Systems and methods described herein further provide the one or more calls to action in connection with a live video stream and based on the broadcaster's configurations. In response to a live video stream viewer correctly interacting with a provided call to action, systems and methods described herein provide a benefit to the viewer.

Providing interactive elements with a live video presentation

An online system presents a content item to users and receives selections of reaction icons from the users. The online system generates a background animation with the selected reaction icons and a foreground animation to be layered on top of the background animation. The online system sends the background and foreground animations to a client device to be cached. Further, the online system presents the content item to a viewing user associated with the client device and receives a selection of a reaction icon from the viewing user. The online system selects a subset of the users based on the viewing user's affinity to the users, retrieves images of the selected users, and send the images to the client device. The client device customizes the background and foreground animations based on the images and the viewing user's reaction icon to generate a compound animation for display to the viewing user.

Compound animation showing user interactions

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can receive render instructions for rendering an animation. The animation comprises a plurality of layers, each layer comprising one or more layer properties, and a first dynamic property to be defined at runtime prior to rendering the animation. The first dynamic property is mapped to a first set of layer properties of the one or more layer properties. A first dynamic property value is received for the first dynamic property. The first set of layer properties are defined based on the first dynamic property value. The animation is rendered on a computing device based on the render instructions and the first dynamic property value.
