• receive, from the first computing device, a request for a recording of the second user during output of a portion selected by the first user from the video on the second computing device;
• request, on the second computing device, consent from the second user to capture the recording during the output of the portion selected by the first user, wherein the consent grants permission for a camera on board the second computing device to capture the recording when the portion selected by the first user is output on the second computing device and to stop capturing the recording immediately after output of the portion selected by the first user has ended;
• output the video on the second computing device;
• in response to receiving the consent, determine whether the portion of the video selected by the first user is being outputted;
• in response to detecting that the output of the portion has initiated, capture the recording throughout the output of the portion based on the consent;
