Abstract
An online system generates a feed of content items for a user subject to a limitation restricting the number of content items including video data (“video content items”) included in the feed. If the user interacts with a video content item the feed, the online system selects candidate video content items based on characteristics of the video content item in the feed and characteristics of the user. The online system determines likelihoods of the user interacting with various candidate video content items and selects candidate video content items based on the determined likelihoods. To present the user with additional video content items, the online system generates an interface including the selected candidate video content items and presents the interface to the user. The interface may be presented in place of the feed or may be presented as within the feed and presents different video content items based on user interactions.
