1. A method comprises:
capturing, in a streamer device, a user video stream from a user comprising a plurality of images;
receiving, in the streamer device from the user, a specification of an incoming image characteristic associated with the plurality of images, wherein the incoming image characteristic is selected from a first group consisting of: an incoming image location within the plurality of images, and an incoming image size within the plurality of images;
receiving, in the streamer device from a remote provider server, incoming image data;
combining, in the streamer device, the user video stream and the incoming image data, to form a composite user video stream, wherein an incoming image is disposed within the plurality of images in response to the incoming image data and the incoming image characteristic;
sending, from the streamer device to a video distribution server, the composite user video stream;
receiving, in the streamer device from the video distribution server, video consumption data associated with the composite user video stream provided by the video distribution server, wherein the video consumption data comprises a number of consumers (N);
sending, from the streamer device to the remote provider server, the video consumption data associated with the composite user video stream.
