Abstract
A videocast service may include at least one computing device configured to provide operations including: receiving an indication, from a videocast subscriber device connected to a communications network of network service provider, to begin providing a videocast from the videocast subscriber device according to selection of a videocast control from a user interface of the videocast subscriber device; validating the subscriber device as having opted into use of the videocast service by way of the network service provider; and if the subscriber device is opted in, initiating the videocast without requiring further user interface interaction from the videocast subscriber device.
Claims20
A videocast service including at least one computing device configured to provide operations comprising:
- receiving an indication, from a videocast subscriber device connected to a communications network of network service provider, to begin providing a live videocast broadcast from the videocast subscriber device according to selection of a videocast control from a user interface of the videocast subscriber device;
- validating the subscriber device as having opted into use of the videocast service by way of the network service provider;
- and
- if the subscriber device is opted in, initiating the videocast without requiring further user interface interaction from the videocast subscriber device.
A method, comprising:
- receiving an indication, from a videocast subscriber device connected to a communications network of network service provider, to begin providing a live videocast broadcast from the videocast subscriber device according to selection of a videocast control from a user interface of the videocast subscriber device;
- validating the subscriber device as having opted into use of the videocast service by way of the network service provider;
- and
- if the subscriber device is opted in, initiating the videocast without requiring further user interface interaction from the videocast subscriber device.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a videocast client application software program, the videocast client application being executable by a videocast subscriber device to provide operations comprising:
- receiving an indication to begin providing a live videocast broadcast from the videocast subscriber device according to selection of a videocast control from a user interface of the videocast subscriber device;
- providing a single sign on token from the videocast subscriber device to the videocast service to validate the videocast subscriber device with the videocast service;
- and
- initiating the videocast without requiring further user interface interaction from the videocast subscriber device.
