Understanding the role of social context and user factors in video Quality of Experience

作者:

Highlights:

• We examine the impact of social context on compressed video Quality of Experience.

• We analyze the effect on QoE of user factors such as interest and demographics.

• Co-viewing videos increases user’s enjoyment and endurability of the experience.

• Low bitrate does not decrease video enjoyment, yet lower video quality is perceived.

• User interest increases QoE; this effect is suppressed by the presence of co-viewers.
