The disclosed techniques provide a computing device that displays video content within a comment section of a user interface. When users invoke a video display by selecting a link within a user interface comment section, a system can control a navigational position of a user interface to concurrently display the video and selected comments within the comment section. In one illustrative example, a system can display a user interface having a video display area and a comment section. The user interface may be positioned to show the comment section within a viewing area of a display device, and such a position may place the video display area outside of the viewing area. In such a scenario, when a system receives a user input indicating a selection of a comment displayed within the comment section, the system can generate a rendering of the video content for display within the comment section.

A user interface (UI) includes a video display area for presenting video content, a text entry field, and a comment section. The UI also provides UI controls for enabling a user to select a portion of the video content and for generating a typed hyperlink in the text entry field that references the selected portion of the video content. A UI control for creating a new comment in the comment section of the UI that includes the typed hyperlink from the text entry field is also provided. A user can select a typed link in a comment and, in response thereto, the content type for the referenced portion of the video content can be determined based on data in the selected link. A preview of the portion of the video content can then be presented based upon the determined content type.

The present disclosure provides a computing device that performs an auto-completion process that generates and inserts text of spoken content of a video into a text entry field. By providing quoted content in a text input field, a system can mitigate the need for users to perform the tedious process of listening to spoken content of a video and manually entering the spoken content into a computing device. In some configurations, a system can receive one or more keywords from a user input and identify spoken content containing the keywords. The system can provide text of the spoken content based on a level of relevancy and populate one or more input fields with the text of the spoken content. The generation of auto completion text from spoken content of a video can enhance user interaction with the computer and maximize productivity and engagement with a video-based system.
