Scheduling live videos

Abstract:

A method includes receiving an indication from a client computing device that a first user has selected one or more options from a composer interface to schedule a live video for broadcast by the first user at a future start time. The method also includes determining one or more second users who are connected to the first user in a social graph and sending a first notification to each of the second users. Each notification includes a first selectable option to receive a future notification about the live video. The method also includes sending a second notification to each of the second users who selected the first selectable option, the second notification including a second selectable option to view the live video. The method also includes providing the live video for display to the second users who select the second selectable option.
