  • Improved compatibility and flexibility by supporting multiple source devices and display devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

Generating unified content includes receiving, at a first device, first media content comprising a media stream from one or more source devices, and receiving, at the first device, user interface overlay instructions. The first device generates unified content having the first media content and a user interface overlay, and provides the unified content for display on a display device.
