US Patent 11490036 Sharing videos having dynamic overlays

Techniques are described that enable a user to share videos having dynamic overlays on a social networking system. In some examples, a server computing device may receive, at a first time from a first client device, a first video. For instance, the server computing device may begin receiving the first video after the first client device has concluded capturing the first video, but has not yet completed customizing the first video. The server computing device may receive, at a second time after the first time and from the first client device, a dynamic overlay including customizations to be applied to the first video. The dynamic overlay may be transmitted separately from the first video. In examples, the server computing device generates a second video by applying the dynamic overlay to the first video. The server computing device then provides the second video to a second client device.
