Abstract:
1. A method comprising: determining a location within a composite video stream, based upon a first video size, to place a first video associated with a first service, the determined location within the composite video stream corresponding to a location for insertion of video for output to an onscreen location of an output device; placing the first video, based at least upon the determined location, with at least one second video associated with a second service into the composite video stream, the first service and the second service being different services, wherein the at least one second video of the composite video stream is configured to be masked when the first video of the composite video stream is displayed on the output device; transmitting the composite video stream to a device associated with the output device; receiving a request prompting an adjustment of the first video from the first video size to a second video size; responsive to a determination that at least one third video in the composite video stream is the first video adjusted to the second video size, outputting the at least one third video to the device; and responsive to a determination that at least one third video in the composite video stream is not the first video adjusted to the second video size, encoding a size-adjusted version of the first video into a second composite video stream and transmitting the second composite video stream to the device.
