1. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a viewer device to:
receive, from a social networking system, a live video stream that originates from a broadcaster device;
display the live video stream for viewing on the viewer device by a viewer;
receive, from the social networking system, a viewer video clip of a viewer reaction to the live video stream by an additional viewer, the viewer video clip originating from an additional viewer device;
display, during the live video stream, the viewer video clip within a video-graphical element overlaid within the live video stream;
receive, from the social networking system, a determination of a number of reactions from other viewers to the viewer video clip; and
dynamically adjust a size of the video-graphical element playing the viewer video clip overlaid within the live video stream during the live video stream based on the number of reactions from the other viewers to the viewer video clip.
