1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, by an application on a viewer client device, a user input to access a live stream;
sending, by the application on the viewer client device, a request to access the live stream;
presenting, by the application on the viewer client device, information allowing a user to indicate a first anchor of a plurality of anchors of the live stream, the first anchor corresponding to a timestamp for starting a portion of the live stream;
receiving the live stream and data indicating the timestamp corresponding to the first anchor of the live stream; and
displaying, by the application on the viewer client device, the live stream beginning at the timestamp corresponding to the first anchor of the live stream.
