Abstract
An electronic device with one or more processors, memory, and a display displays a first video stream on the display. The electronic device downloads and stores a portion of a second video stream and, once the portion of the second video stream has been downloaded, ceases to download the second video stream. The electronic device receives a request to display the second video stream on the display and, in response, determines whether the stored portion of the second video stream satisfies recency criteria with respect to a current stream time of the second video stream. In accordance with a determination that the stored portion of the second video stream satisfies the recency criteria, the electronic device displays at least a portion of the first video stream on the display concurrently with at least the stored portion of the second video stream.
