Dynamic digital object placement in video stream

Abstract

Techniques and mechanisms described herein facilitate providing dynamic digital object placement in a video stream. An exchange network for engagements within video streaming content is maintained, and a number of engagement entities and content providers are connected to the exchange network. An engagement proposal is received from an engagement entity in the exchange network, containing media assets for an engagement and proposed engagement information. Content provider requirements are also received from a content provider in the exchange network, containing content provider requirements and one or more engagement surfaces associated with a video stream. The exchange network determines that the received engagement proposal matches the received content provider requirements. Once the exchange network matches the two entities, the media assets from the engagement entity are dynamically inserted into the video stream published by the content provider by mapping the media assets to the one or more engagement surfaces.
