1. A method for presenting interactive elements within video content, the method comprising:
causing, at a first time point, an initial view of immersive video content to be presented on a user device, wherein the immersive video content includes at least the initial view having a first horizontal field of view at a first angular direction and a first interactive element to be presented on the user device, the first interactive element at a first angular position outside of the first horizontal field of view at the first time point;
receiving an input made via the user device at a second time point, the input indicating that the initial view of the immersive video content is to be changed in a direction towards the first angular position;
in response to receiving the input, causing a viewpoint of the immersive video content to change to a first view having a second horizontal field of view at a second angular direction, different from the first angular direction;
determining that the first angular position is within the second horizontal field of view of the first view of the immersive video content;
in response to determining that the first angular position is within the second horizontal field of view of the first view, identifying a content creator associated with the first interactive element; and
assigning attribution information that indicates the presentation of the first interactive element to the content creator associated with the first interactive element.
