Systems and methods are provided for generating a second content item on identifying an event in a first content item. A first content item is received, and the first content item is monitored to identify a change in a factor associated with the first content item. It is determined whether the change in factor is greater than a threshold value. Based on the change in the factor, an event is identified in the first content item. A second content item is generated, wherein the second content item is based on the identified event in the first content item. The first content item and a user interface element are generated for display at a computing device, wherein the user interface element is configured to receive an input and is associated with the second content item. In response to receiving an input, the second content item is generated for output.

Systems and methods are provided for generating a content item recommendation based on an identified posture. An input associated with a content item delivery service is received at a computing device. A capture of a user is received, and a digital representation of the user is generated based on the capture of the user. A posture of the user is determined based on the digital representation of the user, and a content item genre is identified based on the determined posture. A content item recommendation that is based on the identified genre is generated and output.

Systems and methods are provided for generating a content item banner for display based on a session type and a content item type. A user profile is accessed at a computing device, and a session type associated with consumption of at least a content item of a plurality of content items is determined based on the user profile. A content item type associated with the plurality of content items is determined, and a content item banner for a subsequent content item of the plurality of content items is identified based on the session type and the content item type. The content item banner is generated for display.

A method of modifying playing of media content in a group watch session comprises receiving a command to modify play; determining respective preferences of respective users in the session; and, if it is determined that execution of the command is consistent with the preferences, causing modifying of the playing of at least a portion of the media content based on the received command, e.g., by skipping the portion, jumping to another play position, or rewinding or fast-forwarding through the portion. In this manner, the command is executed, or not executed, based on the preferences of multiple users. The method may include estimating a satisfaction score for the command for the respective users, and comparing the estimated satisfaction scores with a reference score. The portion(s) of the media content for which play is modified may be determined based on the estimated satisfaction scores.
