The reaction videos may be locked until the friend provides consent to have his or her reaction captured while watching the content.

A server device, comprising:
- a memory device storing a set of processor-executable instructions;
- and
- one or more processors configured to execute the processor-executable instructions, wherein executing the processor-executable instructions causes the one or more processors to:
- identify a social group associated with a user of a user device, the social group including one or more users other than the user of the user device;
- receive an indication that the user device has requested that a particular content item be provided to the user device;
- identify one or more reaction videos associated with:
- at least one of the one or more users in the social group, and
- the particular content item,
- wherein the one or more reaction videos include video, of the at least one or more users, captured during presentation of the particular content item at a user device associated with the at least one of the one or more users in the social group;
- provide a notification to the user device that the one or more reaction videos are available but are locked unless the user of the user device consents to capture a reaction video of the user while accessing the particular content item;
- receive consent, from the user device, to capture a reaction video of the user of the user device while accessing the particular content item;
- and
- provide the identified one or more reaction videos, of the at least one or more users in the social group, to the user device based on receiving the consent to capture the reaction video of the user of the user device while accessing the particular content item.
