Computer system and method for recording, managing, and watching videos

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, wherein the non-transitory computer-readable medium is provisioned with program instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a computing platform to:

• cause a first client station that is remote from the computing platform and is associated with a first user to present a first interface for adding viewer feedback elements to a given video that was recorded by the first user;
• receive, from the first client station, a first communication indicating a request by the first user to add one or more viewer feedback elements to the given video;
• after receiving the first communication, store data defining the one or more viewer feedback elements added to the given video;
• thereafter receive, from a second client station that is remote from the computing platform and is associated with a second user, a second communication indicating a request by the second user to watch the given video;
• and
• after receiving the second communication indicating the request by the second user to watch the given video:
• transmit manifest data for the given video that includes the data defining the one or more viewer feedback elements added to the given video;
• stream the given video to the second client station;
• and
• cause the second client station to present a second interface through which the second client station plays back the given video and presents the one or more viewer feedback elements based on the manifest data.

A method carried out by a computing platform, the method comprising:

• causing a first client station that is remote from the computing platform and is associated with a first user to present a first interface for adding viewer feedback elements to a given video that was recorded by the first user;
• receiving, from the first client station, a first communication indicating a request by the first user to add one or more viewer feedback elements to the given video;
• after receiving the first communication, storing data defining the one or more viewer feedback elements added to the given video;
• thereafter receiving, from a second client station that is remote from the computing platform and is associated with a second user, a second communication indicating a request by the second user to watch the given video;
• and
• after receiving the second communication indicating the request by the second user to watch the given video:
• transmitting manifest data for the given video that includes the data defining the one or more viewer feedback elements added to the given video;
• streaming the given video to the second client station;
• and
• causing the second client station to present a second interface through which the second client station plays back the given video and presents the one or more viewer feedback elements based on the manifest data.
