Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, from a first user device associated with a first user account, scheduling data associated with a live stream event, the scheduling data including at least a date, a time, and an item to be featured during the live stream event;
- identifying a second user account to invite to the live stream event;
- sending a notification to a second user device associated with the second user account;
- streaming live stream event data from the first computing device to the second computing device in response to determining the live stream event has commenced;
- receiving from the second user device a first interaction with the social networking system, the first interaction to cause a shopping interface to be displayed concurrently with the live stream event data on a graphical element of the second computing device;
- receiving from the second user device a second interaction with the social networking system, the second interaction to cause initiate a purchase of the item with a third-party retailer;
- processing a transaction with the third-party retailer on behalf of the second user account to complete the purchase of the item;
- sending a notification to the first computing device, the notification to cause feedback data associated with the transaction to display on a graphical element of the first computing device;
- receiving, from the first computing device, a request to recognize the second user account;
- and
- sending a pre-prepared response to at least the second computing device and a third computing device to cause the pre-prepared response to be displayed concurrently with the live stream data on the graphical element of the second computing device and a graphical element of the third computing device.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause one or more computing devices to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from a first user account, scheduling data associated with a live stream event, the scheduling data including a first item to be featured during the live stream event;
- streaming live stream event data to a second user account;
- receiving from the second user account a request to access a shopping interface associated with the live stream event data;
- and
- providing the live stream event data and shopping interface data to the second user account to cause the shopping interface data to be displayed on a device associated with the second user account concurrently with the live stream event data.
2 more elements
A computing device comprising:
- a display;
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, at a first user account associated with the device, live stream event data from a social networking system, the live stream event data associated with a second user account;
- presenting the live stream event data on the display;
- and
- concurrently presenting the live stream event data and a shopping interface on the display in response to receiving an input to access a shopping interface during the live stream event.
