1. A computing system comprising:
a communications subsystem;
a memory having stored thereon an adaptive video recap module for selectively presenting a determined optimal duration of video recap of media content; and
at least one processor communicatively coupled to the communications subsystem and the memory and which executes program code of the adaptive video recap module, the at least one processor configured to cause the computing system to:
detect selection of a current episode of first media content for playback, the first media content presented sequentially within a plurality of episodes comprising one or more prior episodes that precede the current episode being initiated for playback;
in response to detecting selection of the current episode of the first media content for playback, determine a first time difference between a current time and a previous viewing time of the one or more prior episodes;
determine, based on the first time difference, at least a first time duration for a first video recap of at least one of the one or more prior episodes of the first media content; and
stream the first time duration of the first video recap of the first media content for presentation on an electronic device as a preview presented prior to streaming the current episode of the first media content for presentation on the electronic device.
