Increasing user engagement during computing resource allocation queues for cloud services

Abstract:

In various examples, upon receiving an indication from a launcher application that a user desires to engage with a cloud gaming or computing service, and determining that a desired computing resource requested for such engagement is unavailable for allocation, one or more interactive content items may be presented in association with a display of the user's local computing device. User actuation of an interactive content item may cause presentation of an options window. One option may cause presentation of an additional content item in the background so it may be viewed after engagement. Another option may cause display of an additional content item, such as in place of the interactive content item or in a web browser external to the launcher application. This option may also cause cancellation of the user request for the allocation and removal of the user request from a queue.
