Social television (also social interactive television) is a general term for technology that supports communication and interaction in the context of watching television, or related to TV content.  It also includes the study of television-related social behavior.

Social television is an active area of research and development. Most existing social television systems are on a conceptual stage, or exist as lab prototypes, beta or pilot versions.
