- determine, during the live video broadcast, a highlighted portion of the live video broadcast in response to receiving user input indicative of a highlighted portion;
- present to the networking system user a set of sharing options comprising an option to share an unhighlighted full version of the live video broadcast and an option to share the highlighted portion determined in response to receiving the user input indicated during the live video broadcast;
- receive, from the networking system user, a request based on a selected option from the set of sharing options to post the highlighted portion of the live video broadcast to an account associated with the networking system user;
