detecting, during the outputting of the content, based on data received from one or more sensors, a presence of a primary viewer of the content being outputted;
determining a reaction of the primary viewer to one or more secondary viewers, wherein the secondary viewers were not present during the detecting the presence of the primary viewer;
determining, during the outputting of the content, using a machine learning model, and based on the reaction of the primary viewer, a reaction of the one or more secondary viewers, different from the primary viewer, to a portion of the content being outputted; and
modifying, based on the determined reaction of the one or more secondary viewers satisfying one or more criteria, the outputting of the content.
