13. A computer-implemented system comprising:
input/output (I/O) circuitry configured to:
receive a first request to access a media asset; and
control circuitry configured to:
identify a first portion of the media asset to be provided for display based on the first request, wherein the first portion of the media asset corresponds to a first timepoint of the media asset; and
identify a second portion of the media asset corresponding to a second timepoint of the media asset, wherein the second timepoint occurs prior to the first timepoint of the media asset;
wherein the I/O circuitry is further configured to:
receive a second request to cause simultaneous display of the first portion of the media asset corresponding to the first timepoint and the second portion of the media asset corresponding to the second timepoint; and
wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:
based on receiving the second request, provide for simultaneous display a first window at a first region of a display and a second window at a second region of the display, wherein the first window displays the first portion of the media asset and the second window displays the second portion of the media asset, wherein the second portion of the media asset corresponds to video content corresponding to the second timepoint of the media asset;
determine, based on a current timepoint of the second portion of the media asset, to modify the second window of the display by determining that the second portion of the media asset has concluded or by determining that the current timepoint of the video content of the second portion of the media asset corresponds to the first timepoint of the first portion of the media asset; and
modify the second window of the display by removing the second window from the display.
