receiving, at the computer system, a request from a first user device associated with a first user to provide information that enables access to a first portion of a first content item, wherein the request is based on a first presentation of the first content item via a first content delivery service; associating, by the computer system, a first reference time with the first portion of the first content item, wherein the first reference time corresponds to a time at which the first portion of the first content item is presented via the first content delivery service; generating, by the computer system, based on the first reference time, reference information that enables access to the first portion of the first content item in a second presentation of the first content item via a second content delivery service; and providing, by the computer system, the reference information to a second user device associated with a second user such that the reference information enables the second user to access the first portion of the first content item in the second presentation via the second content delivery service. |
