Abstract

A system and method for streaming video with dynamic user features enable content distribution systems to increase a user's total watch time. A user behavior server proposes additional watch recommendations to a user in response to detecting certain user behavior. Autoplay and autoscroll functionality is provided that permits a user to browse a video feed during playback of selected content. Global play and pause modes are disclosed that allow a user to select a preferred playback mode and have that mode persist across session and application launches.
