Abstract

In a method and accompanying system for providing symbiotic media content, one or more advertising units comprising advertising video content are received at a user device. During the playback of primary video content to a user of the device, a plurality of user interface controls are displayed, with each control being associated with a respective advertising unit. On receiving an interaction with one of the controls, the primary video content is combined with the advertisement associated with the selected control, forming a symbiotic video. The symbiotic video is presented to the user and, on completion thereof, playback of the primary video content is continued.
