1. A method for facilitating interaction between viewers of streams of content, comprising:
causing a stream of content to be presented on a first user device in response to determining that a creator of the stream of content has selected an input to begin presenting the stream of content;
in response to receiving an indication from a second user device associated with the creator of the stream of content to add content to the stream of content, receiving video content from the second user device associated with the creator of the stream of content; and
causing the video content received from the second user device associated with the creator of the stream of content to be presented in a window overlaid on the stream of content on each of a plurality of user devices and the first user device concurrently with presentation of the stream of content on each of the plurality of user devices and the first user device from a first time to a second time within the stream of content, wherein the video content is also presented in the window overlaid on the stream of content from the first time to the second time within the stream of content in subsequent presentations of the stream of content.
