Abstract

In some implementations, a method includes receiving a selection of one or more users of a social networking service, the selection received via a social networking interface. A live visual data feed derived from a camera is received, where the received live visual data feed has a multiple frames and has a time interval between successive frames of the live visual data feed. A modified live visual data feed is sent over a network to be distributed using the social networking service to the selected users of the social networking service. The modified live feed includes frames derived from the frames of the received live visual data feed, and the modified feed provides a different time interval between its successive frames than the time interval between the frames of the received live feed.
