Abstract

A content server receives metadata describing content that is to be uploaded from a client computer to the content server. A prediction is made as to how long it will take to upload and/or process the content. Based on this predication, an appropriate-length user engagement content is transmitted to the client computer for a user to view while the content is being uploaded and/or processed.
