System and methods are directed to displaying interactive content with static content in a user interface of an application. More specifically, it may be determined that an interactive component is to be rendered in a user interface of a first application, where the user interface includes static content. In response to determining that the interactive component is it be rendered, at least one linking parameter may be determined for linking the interactive component with interactive content stored in a shared storage. Based on the at least one linking parameter, the interactive component may be rendered in the user interface of the first application in-line with the static content of the user interface of the first application. Changes to the interactive content made by a second user of a second application may then be updated within the interactive component rendered in the user interface of the first application.

Interactive components for user collaboration

Embodiments relate to providing a recorded gameplay session of an interactive content controlled by a broadcasting user. While the broadcasting user is controlling the interactive content being recorded, the inputs provided by the broadcasting user for interacting with the interactive content are recorded. Properties of objects in the interactive content being controlled by the broadcasting user are modified in view of the inputs provided by the broadcasting user. Furthermore, the properties of the objects in the interactive content being controlled by the broadcasting user are periodically recorded. The recorded inputs provided by the broadcasting user and the recorded properties of the objects in the interactive content are used to provide a viewing user a recording of the gameplay session of the interactive content controlled by the broadcasting user.
