Abstract:

Technologies are described for providing a two-way interactive streaming media experience. For example, streaming media comprising streaming video can be received along with overlay control data and a web overlay. The web overlay can be composited on top of the streaming video according to timing information in the overlay control data. Users can interact with the web overlay (e.g., select buttons or perform other actions). Indications of user interactions can be provided to a server environment and updated streaming media, new web overlays, and/or new web content can be received as a result.
