In some embodiments, the method comprises: causing a video content item and a message interface to be presented on a plurality of user devices, wherein the video content item is created by a content creator; receiving, from at least a portion of the plurality of user devices, a plurality of messages via the message interface; identifying at least one topic included in a portion of the plurality of messages within a given period of time; causing a notification that indicates the at least one topic to be superimposed on the presentation of the video content item on the plurality of user devices; determining that the at least one topic is no longer included in more than a predetermined number of the plurality of messages; and causing presentation of the notification to be inhibited on the plurality of user devices. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for generating a notification in connection with video content, the method comprising: causing a video content item and a message interface to be presented on a plurality of user devices, wherein the video content item is created by a content creator; receiving, from at least a portion of the plurality of user devices, a plurality of messages via the message interface; identifying at least one topic included in a portion of the plurality of messages within a given period of time; causing a notification that indicates the at least one topic to be superimposed on the presentation of the video content item on the plurality of user devices; determining that the at least one topic is no longer included in more than a predetermined number of the plurality of messages; causing presentation of the notification to be inhibited on the plurality of user devices; storing metadata that indicates content of the notification and an indication of a time period of the video content item during which the notification was presented; and using the stored metadata to present the notification in connection with presentation of the video content item on a second plurality of devices. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein a plurality of topics from the plurality of messages are identified within the given period of time and wherein the method further comprises causing a creator interface to be presented on a user device associated with the content creator, wherein at least a subset of the plurality of topics are presented within the creator interface. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein the method further comprises receiving a selection, via the creator interface, from the content creator, of the notification from the plurality of messages. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein the method further comprises ranking the plurality of topics that are presented within the creator interface based on message popularity. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein identifying the at least one topic further comprises determining that a keyword is included in more than the predetermined number of the plurality of messages. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising determining a size of a visual representation of the notification based on a number of the plurality of messages that include the at least one topic. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the notification indicates a number of the plurality of messages that include the at least one topic. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein causing the notification to be superimposed on the presentation of the video content item further comprises generating a composite video content item that includes the notification. ### Claim 9 A system for generating a notification in connection with video content, the system comprising: a hardware processor that is programmed to: cause a video content item and a message interface to be presented on a plurality of user devices, wherein the video content item is created by a content creator; receive, from at least a portion of the plurality of user devices, a plurality of messages via the message interface; identify at least one topic included in a portion of the plurality of messages within a given period of time; cause a notification that indicates the at least one topic to be superimposed on the presentation of the video content item on the plurality of user devices; determine that the at least one topic is no longer included in more than a predetermined number of the plurality of messages; cause presentation of the notification to be inhibited on the plurality of user devices; store metadata that indicates content of the notification and an indication of a time period of the video content item during which the notification was presented; and use the stored metadata to present the notification in connection with presentation of the video content item on a second plurality of devices. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein a plurality of topics from the plurality of messages are identified within the given period of time and wherein the hardware processor is further programmed to cause a creator interface to be presented on a user device associated with the content creator, wherein at least a subset of the plurality of topics are presented within the creator interface. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The system of claim 10, wherein the hardware processor is further programmed to receive a selection, via the creator interface, from the content creator, of the notification from the plurality of messages. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The system of claim 10, wherein the hardware processor is further programmed to rank the plurality of topics that are presented within the creator interface based on message popularity. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein identifying the at least one topic further comprises determining that a keyword is included in more than the predetermined number of the plurality of messages. ### Claim 14 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the hardware processor is further programmed to determine a size of a visual representation of the notification based on a number of the plurality of messages that include the at least one topic. ### Claim 15 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the notification indicates a number of the plurality of messages that include the at least one topic. ### Claim 16 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein causing the notification to be superimposed on the presentation of the video content item further comprises generating a composite video content item that includes the notification. ### Claim 17 A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to execute a method for generating a notification in connection with video content, the method comprising: causing a video content item and a message interface to be presented on a plurality of user devices, wherein the video content item is created by a content creator; receiving, from at least a portion of the plurality of user devices, a plurality of messages via the message interface; identifying at least one topic included in a portion of the plurality of messages within a given period of time; causing a notification that indicates the at least one topic to be superimposed on the presentation of the video content item on the plurality of user devices; determining that the at least one topic is no longer included in more than a predetermined number of the plurality of messages; causing presentation of the notification to be inhibited on the plurality of user devices; storing metadata that indicates content of the notification and an indication of a time period of the video content item during which the notification was presented; and using the stored metadata to present the notification in connection with presentation of the video content item on a second plurality of devices.
