Patent attributes
A computer-implemented method for automatically switching between media streams may include (i) identifying a plurality of media streams of an event, where one media stream from the plurality is designated as a primary stream of the event that is transmitted by default to at least one viewer of the event, (ii) selecting a media stream from the plurality of media streams to be the primary stream based on a favorable characteristic of the media stream, (iii) detecting that a different media stream within the plurality of media streams has a more favorable characteristic compared to the media stream, (v) in response to detecting that the different media stream has the more favorable characteristic, automatically selecting the different media stream to be the primary stream and (v) transmitting the different media stream to the at least one viewer of the event. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
