Claims22
A method, comprising:
- detecting, using at least one processor of a host server, a user's experience of a first online media content;
- automatically determining, by the host server and without user intervention, a first co-user of the user by identifying the first co-user from a list of co-users associated with the user on a communication system based on matching a first attribute associated with the first co-user with an attribute associated with the first online media content;
- providing, by the host server, a first invitation generated by the host server to the first co-user that enables access to the first online media content;
- enabling access to the first online media content to the first co-user;
- detecting, using the at least one processor of the host server, the user's experience changing to a second online media content;
- automatically determining, by the host server and without user intervention based on detecting the user's experience changing to the second online media content, a second co-user of the user by identifying the second co-user from the list of co-users associated with the user on the communication system based on matching a second attribute associated with the second co-user with an attribute associated with the second online media content, wherein the first co-user differs from the second co-user and the first attribute differs from the second attribute;
- providing, by the host server, a second invitation generated by the host server to the second co-user that enables access to the second online media content;
- and
- enabling access to the second online media content to the second co-user.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions thereon that when executed by at least one processor cause the at least one processor to:
- detect, at a host server, a user's experience of a first online media content;
- automatically determine, by the host server and without user intervention, a first co-user of the user by identifying the first co-user from a list of co-users associated with the user on a communication system based on matching a first attribute associated with the first co-user with an attribute associated with the first online media content;
- provide, by the host server, a first invitation generated by the host server to the first co-user that enables access to the first online media content;
- enable access to the first online media content to the first co-user;
- detect, using the at least one processor of the host server, the user's experience changing to a second online media content;
- automatically determine, by the host server and without user intervention based on detecting the user's experience changing to the second online media content, a second co-user of the user by identifying the second co-user from the list of co-users associated with the user on the communication system based on matching a second attribute associated with the second co-user with an attribute associated with the second online media content, wherein the first co-user differs from the second co-user and the first attribute differs from the second attribute;
- provide, by the host server, a second invitation generated by the host server to the second co-user that enables access to the second online media content;
- and
- enable access to the second online media content to the second co-user.

A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
- detect, at a host server, a user's experience of a first online media content;
- automatically determine, by the host server and without user intervention, a first co-user of the user by identifying the first co-user from a list of co-users associated with the user on a communication system based on matching a first attribute associated with the first co-user with an attribute associated with the first online media content;
- provide, by the host server, a first invitation generated by the host server to the first co-user that enables access to the first online media content;
- enable access to the first online media content to the first co-user;
- detect, using the at least one processor of the host server, the user's experience changing to a second online media content;
- automatically determine, by the host server and without user intervention based on detecting the user's experience changing to the second online media content, a second co-user of the user by identifying the second co-user from the list of co-users associated with the user on the communication system based on matching a second attribute associated with the second co-user with an attribute associated with the second online media content, wherein the first co-user differs from the second co-user and the first attribute differs from the second attribute;
- provide, by the host server, a second invitation generated by the host server to the second co-user that enables access to the second online media content;
- and
- enable access to the second online media content to the second co-user.
