Method for presenting notifications when annotations are received from a remote device

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having recorded thereon a program executable by a processor to perform a method for selecting a display characteristic for a video annotation notification on at least one destination display device interconnected across a communications network to at least one source device configured to generate a video annotation, the method comprising:

• receiving annotated video content from the at least one source device, wherein the annotated video content is associated with a source position identifier in a video production hierarchy;
• determining a destination position in the video production hierarchy for video content displayed on the at least one destination display device;
• determining a difference between the determined destination position and the source position identifier associated with the annotated video content to define a relevance value threshold;
• determining a content complexity value from shot characteristics associated with the annotated video content, wherein the shot characteristics include at least one of the following:
• shot type and shot dynamism;
• selecting, for the at least one destination display device, one or more display characteristics of the video annotation notification based on a complexity value being lower than the relevance value threshold;
• and
• displaying the video annotation notification at the destination display device according to a selected one of the one or more display characteristics.
