Methods and systems are presented herein for streaming of media content. The methods and systems include receiving a request to stream a media content item; accessing a profile of a user authorized to access the streaming service; determining whether a bonus stream in addition to a default number of streams should be granted based on an analysis of at least one of: a status of the streaming service, a status of the requesting media device, metadata of the media content item, a status of the communication system, the profile, and a status of the currently streaming media device. Related apparatuses, devices, techniques, and articles are also described.

Methods and systems for streaming media content on multiple devices

Systems and methods are described for determining that a plurality of user profiles, stored in the memory, are associated with an account of a media application; generating for presentation a media asset during a first consumption session associated with the account; generating for presentation a selectable option to associate a current progress point of the media asset with one or more of the plurality of user profiles associated with the account; receiving a selection of one or more of the plurality of user profiles via the selectable option; during a second consumption session, receiving a request for accessing the media asset; and in response to determining that the second consumption session is associated with the selected one or more user profiles, resuming the media asset from the progress point associated with the selectable option.

Systems and methods for predictive selection of pause points

Systems and methods are presented herein for generating an augmented reality ('AR') display with user interface (“UI”) elements that respond to changes in pupil characteristics in response to detecting device streaming content. A media stream playing on a device that is within a threshold distance of the AR device is detected. The source of the media stream is identified. The AR device queries the source of the media stream for a consumption option. An AR overlay is generated and comprises selectable UI elements corresponding to the consumption options. In response to receiving an input at a UI element, the AR overlay is generated based on the consumption option.

Augmented reality display for content consumption based on field of view

Systems and methods for providing smart communications in a video game environment are disclosed. A first positional vector of a first user within a video game environment and a second positional vector of a second user within the video game environment are determined. In a first communication between the first user and second user, the first positional information is detected and a first translation vector between the first positional vector of the first user and the second positional vector of the second user is calculated. Based on the first translation vector, the first positional information is corrected, and the corrected positional information is transmitted to the second user.

Methods and system for smart voice chat in multiplayer gaming

Systems and methods are described for storing an identification of a first pause point of a media asset associated with a first user interaction profile; storing an identification of a second pause point of the media asset associated with a second user interaction profile; receiving a request to access the media asset during a current consumption session; identifying user interface inputs received during the current consumption session; selecting one of the first pause point and the second pause point as a selected pause point based on determining whether the identified user interface inputs match user interface inputs associated with the first user interaction profile or the second user interaction profile; and generating for presentation the media asset starting from the selected pause point.
