To me it looks like there's a verb missing in the second sentence?

I mean the first sentence would look something like this i guess
	
"Sharing contents to firefox"

and the second would look like

"3 video streams to firefox".

Why does it not have a "Sharing" or "Sending" or "Forwarding" or something?

Cheers,
