Claim 12:
13. An interactive live streaming video system comprising:
an interaction encoder, where the interaction encoder is configured to:
transmit a live video stream;
receive a request to display an interactive object over the live video stream;
generate the interaction object based on the request, wherein the interaction object comprises a data structure capable of being decoded in near-real time to produce the interaction object in the video track at the timestamp when played back;
store the interaction object in an interaction track;
generate a manifest comprising the locations of the interaction track; a video track of the live video stream; and an audio track of the live video stream; and transmit the manifest; and
transmit the manifest to an interaction decoder; and

the interaction decoder, where the interaction decoder is configured to:
receive the manifest;
obtain the interaction track, the video track, and the audio track using the manifest;
playback the live video stream in a video player;
generate a transparent interaction pane over the video player; and
render the interactive object in the interaction pane such that the interactive object appears to be in the live video stream.
