Abstract: Systems and methods described herein relate to detecting the existence of unauthorized content in multiuser composite media stream. In particular, multiuser composite media streams can be examined and to determine if these composite streams include unauthorized content such as copyrighted content or nudity, violence, language violations where desired. The multiuser composite media stream can be partitioned into sections associated with broadcasting users and the portions can be analyzed independently. A notification can be provided to, e.g., the broadcasting user responsible for the unauthorized content in response to detection of the unauthorized content.

Abstract: One-way streaming video broadcasts can be presented and consumed by an audience via a media player than allows annotations. If the streaming broadcast is live, or at least has not ended, an opportunity exists for the audience to collaborate with the broadcaster and/or contribute to the broadcast. Such can be accomplished by annotating the presentation of the video broadcast with an object that, when selected, facilitates transmission of a video feed associated with the audience member to the broadcaster. The broadcaster can receive and include this video feed into the video broadcast.

Abstract: Implementations generally relate to facilitating communication between users. In some implementations, a method includes enabling a first user to initiate a chat session with one or more second users, wherein the chat session is a text chat session. The method further includes enabling the first user to broadcast a live video stream to the one or more second users during the chat session. The method further includes enabling at least the first user to convert the chat session to a video session.

Abstract: Implementations generally relate to facilitating meetings. In some implementations, a method includes receiving a meeting request for a meeting. The method further includes generating a calendar entry identifier in response to the meeting request. The method further includes associating the calendar entry identifier with a calendar entry. The method further includes verifying one or more requests to join the meeting against the calendar entry identifier.

Abstract: Implementations generally relate to facilitating presentations in video conferences. In some implementations, a method includes enabling a presenting user to provide a document to a network system. The method further includes enabling the document to be rendered on one or more devices of one or more respective viewing users, where the one or more devices are local to the one or more viewing users. The method further includes enabling the presenting user to navigate the document during a presentation.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for chat-enabling a social circle in response to user input provided by a first user, the social circle being defined by the first user and including one or more contacts, the one or more contacts including a second user, for each of the one or more contacts, issuing a chat service subscription request, determining that a subscription request associated with the second user is fulfilled, and in response to determining that the subscription request associated with the second user is fulfilled, adding the second user as a chat contact of the first user and adding the first user as a chat contact of the second user.

Abstract: A computer-implemented technique can include receiving, at a server computing device having one or more processors, a first video stream from a first user computing device associated with a first user. The first video stream can include a first image portion. The technique can further include extracting the first image portion of the first video stream in order to generate a first overlay stream, and receiving a second video stream from a second user computing device associated with a second user. A composite video stream can be generated from the first overlay stream and the second video stream. The composite video stream can comprise the first overlay stream superimposed over the second video stream. The composite video stream can be output to the second user computing device.

Abstract: A server-implemented technique can include obtaining external context parameters indicative of an external context of a video chat session, calculating an abuse score based on the external context parameters, the abuse score being indicative of a likelihood the video chat session is abusive, and comparing the abuse score to an abuse score threshold. When the abuse score exceeds an abuse score threshold, the server can transmit, to a reviewer computing device, a request for a human reviewer to review a recorded portion of the video chat session for abuse. When the reviewer computing device returns a response indicating that the human reviewer deemed the video chat session to be abusive, the server can modify a profile of a participant in the abusive video chat session to obtain a modified profile, and generate an output based on the modified profile.

Abstract: Implementations generally relate to providing secure video conferencing. In some implementations, a method includes performing a first encryption of a video stream, wherein the video stream has a first encryption layer from the first encryption. The method further includes performing a second encryption of the video stream, wherein the video stream has a second encryption layer from the second encryption. The method further includes enabling one or more remote nodes to decrypt the second encryption layer. The method further includes enabling one or more end-user nodes to decrypt the first encryption layer.

Abstract: The present disclosure comprises systems and methods for broadcasting video communications including video conferences or hosted programs by providing a capability for easily moving participants in and out of the video communications, as necessary. Video communications may be “aired” or broadcast to viewers. The present systems and methods designate at least two stages in the video communication broadcasts, including a “front” stage and a “back” stage. Users who are immediate (e.g., current) participants in the video communication broadcast are provided access to the “front” stage of the video communication broadcast. Those users who are initially “guests” (e.g., will be, but are not yet, immediate or current participants in the video communication broadcast) are provided access first to a back “stage” of the video communication broadcast. A filter imposes restrictions on the back stage to prevent any broadcast of activities that may occur in the back stage to viewers.

Abstract: A system for providing an interactive response system for hosted services may include a processor and a memory. The processor may facilitate steps of receiving data streams from participant devices, such as devices participating in a multimedia conference, and transmitting, in response to receiving the data streams from the participant devices, the data streams to the other of the participant devices. The steps may further include receiving, from one of the participant devices, a request to initiate communication with an invitee device, processing the data streams to determine a language associated with the data streams, and providing, to the invitee device, a communication in the determined language. The communication provided to the invitee device may be an initial communication of an interactive response system, such as an interactive voice response system or an interactive messaging response system.

Abstract: Implementations generally relate to controlling access to meetings. In some implementations, a method includes determining a locked state of a meeting, wherein, in the locked state, the meeting is restricted to a first set of users. The method further includes changing the meeting to an unlocked state based on one or more predetermined unlock criteria, wherein, in the unlocked state, the meeting is open to the first set of users and to a second set of users. The method further includes changing the meeting back to the locked state based on one or more predetermined lock criteria.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for sending, by a first computing device, a video feed with a pre-determined quality level to a second computing device. The first computing device determines that a volume level associated with the video feed reaches a threshold. The first computing device sends the video feed with a higher quality level to the second computing device based upon, at least in part, determining that the volume level associated with the video feed reaches the threshold.
