Dynamic grid elements for video live streaming interfaces

A method for rendering a video live stream interface having one or more dynamic grid elements, the method comprising:

• generating one or more uniform resource locator (URLs);
• transmitting one or more URLs to each participant of a video live stream,
• wherein each URL of the one or more URLs are distinct and are uniquely associated with each participant;
• receiving, from a user, a first selection of a dynamic grid element to add to the video live stream interface,
• wherein the dynamic grid element comprises a plurality of containers configured to render data from a data stream;
• responsive to receiving the first selection, adding the dynamic grid element to the video live stream interface;
• receiving, from the user, a second selection of a priority for a first participant to a container of the plurality of containers,
• storing a priority state of the container to maintain the priority of the container for the first participant,
• wherein the container is uniquely associated with a URL of the one or more URLs and assigns the first participant to the container,
• wherein the container is configured to display video data from the first participant;
• rendering the video live stream by the video live stream interface;
• responsive to the first participant joining the video live stream, adding the first participant to the container of the plurality of containers based on the priority and the URL associated with the first participant and the container;
• and
• rendering the video data for the first participant in the container.

A system for rendering a video live stream comprising one or more dynamic grid elements, comprising:

• at least one data store;
• and
• at least one processor programmed to carry out computer-executable instructions, comprising:
• generating one or more uniform resource locator (URLs);
• transmitting a URL of the one or more URL to each participant of the video live stream,
• wherein the one or more URLs are distinct and are uniquely associated with each participant;
• causing display of a video live stream interface, the video live stream interface comprising a dynamic grid element and at least one other user interface element,
• wherein the dynamic grid element comprises a first container, the first container configured to render data associated with a data stream from a first participant based on a first URL of the one or more URLs,
• wherein the first URL is uniquely associated with the first container and assigns the first participant to the first container,
• wherein the first container is configured to display a first data stream from the first participant;
• storing a priority state of the first container to maintain priority of the first container for the first participant;
• rendering the first data stream within the first container;
• and
• responsive to a second data stream being added to the video live stream:
• adding a second container to the dynamic grid element based on a second URL of the one or more URLs, and
• rendering the second data stream in the second container based on the second URL of the one or more URLs distinct from the first URL,
• wherein the second URL is uniquely associated with the second container.
