Abstract
The disclosed embodiments include at least one method. The method includes communicatively coupling a first client device to a platform that distributes live streams over a network to client devices including the first client device. The live streams provide a live broadcast of a live event from viewpoints captured by source devices located at the live event including a second client device. The method further includes receiving an indication of a selection of a first viewpoint from the first client device and communicating a first live stream to the first client device. The first live stream is captured by a first source device and, when rendering by the first client device, causes display of the first viewpoint on the first client device.
