Abstract
Methods, systems and computer products as described herein are directed to a Live Listing Engine. Live Listing Engine sends a live video stream to a viewer computer device and a host computer device. The live video stream includes a view of an item from a perspective of the host computer device. The Live Listing Engine receives an upload of an image of the view of the item captured from a preview window rendered on the host computer device. The Live Listing Engine receives listing information associated with the image from the host computer device. The Live Listing Engine generates a listing thumbnail based on the image and the listing information and inserts the listing thumbnail into the live video stream for display at the viewer computer device and the host computer device.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- sending a live video stream associated with a host computer device of an individual hosting the live video stream to one or more viewer computer devices;
- generating a portion of the live video stream based on a first camera perspective view of the item captured on the host computer device, the first camera perspective view of the item caused by at least one change in respective physical orientations of the host computer device, the camera comprising a component of the host computer device;
- and
- generating a thumbnail portraying the first camera perspective view of the item captured on the host computer device, the first camera perspective view of the item captured from an image preview window for the camera of the host computer device, the image preview window rendered in place of display of the live video stream at the host computer device and concurrent with a corresponding particular physical orientation of the host computer device;
- generating a portion of the live video stream based on a second camera perspective view of the item captured on the host computer device, the second camera perspective view of the item caused by at least one subsequent change in respective physical orientations of the host computer device after the first camera perspective view;
- sending an instance of the live stream comprising the second camera perspective view of the item to a respective viewer computer device, the instance of the live stream including concurrent display of an instance of the thumbnail based on the first camera perspective view;
- and
- receiving a request to purchase the item based on selection of the instance of the thumbnail at the respective viewer computer device.

A system comprising one or more processors, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium including one or more sequences of instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
- send a live video stream associated with a host computer device of an individual hosting the live video stream to one or more viewer computer devices;
- generate a portion of the live video stream based on a first camera perspective view of the item captured on the host computer device, the first camera perspective view of the item caused by at least one change in respective physical orientations of the host computer device, the camera comprising a component of the host computer device;
- and
- generate a thumbnail portraying the first camera perspective view of the item captured on the host computer device, the first camera perspective view of the item captured from an image preview window for the camera of the host computer device, the image preview window rendered in place of display of the live video stream at the host computer device and concurrent with a corresponding particular physical orientation of the host computer device;
- generate a portion of the live video stream based on a second camera perspective view of the item captured on the host computer device, the second camera perspective view of the item caused by at least one subsequent change in respective physical orientations of the host computer device after the first camera perspective view;
- send an instance of the live stream comprising the second camera perspective view of the item to a respective viewer computer device, the instance of the live stream including concurrent display of an instance of the thumbnail based on the first camera perspective view;
- and
- receive a request to purchase the item based on selection of the instance of the thumbnail at the respective viewer computer device.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium having a computer-readable program code embodied therein to be executed by one or more processors, the program code including instructions to:
- send a live video stream associated with a host computer device of an individual hosting the live video stream to one or more viewer computer devices;
- generate a portion of the live video stream based on a first camera perspective view of the item captured on the host computer device, the first camera perspective view of the item caused by at least one change in respective physical orientations of the host computer device, the camera comprising a component of the host computer device;
- and
- generate a thumbnail portraying the first camera perspective view of the item captured on the host computer device, the first camera perspective view of the item captured from an image preview window for the camera of the host computer device, the image preview window rendered in place of display of the live video stream at the host computer device and concurrent with a corresponding particular physical orientation of the host computer device;
- generate a portion of the live video stream based on a second camera perspective view of the item captured on the host computer device, the second camera perspective view of the item caused by at least one subsequent change in respective physical orientations of the host computer device after the first camera perspective view;
- send an instance of the live stream comprising the second camera perspective view of the item to a respective viewer computer device, the instance of the live stream including concurrent display of an instance of the thumbnail based on the first camera perspective view;
- and
- receive a request to purchase the item based on selection of the instance of the thumbnail at the respective viewer computer device.
