At least one non-transitory machine-readable storage medium having executable instructions stored thereon, the instructions configurable to cause at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

• causing playback of on-demand media content at a first presentation device, wherein the on-demand media content is an episode of a video program series;
• receiving uploaded media content, wherein uploading of the uploaded media content is initiated during playback of the on-demand media content at the first presentation device;
• linking the uploaded media content with the on-demand media content;
• after the linking, causing playback of the on-demand media content at a second presentation device;
