• selecting a second set of playback positions from a second segment of time in each of their respective video streams prior to the time of the main video stream;
• and
• selecting a third set of playback positions from a third segment of time in each of their respective video streams after the time of the main video stream;
• and
• simultaneously displaying:
• a first interface portion to display the main video stream;
