  • Patent number: 10880352
    Abstract: Individual adjustment of audio volume and video properties in a computer network conference environment is provided. A method may include providing, via a graphical user interface (GUI) of a viewing participant, a first video stream received from a first device of a first participant, the first video stream having an image attribute set at a first level as indicated by a first user input element of the GUI, providing, via the GUI, a second video stream received from a second device of a second participant, the second video stream having the image attribute set at a second level as indicated by a second user input element of the GUI, and outputting, by the computing device, the received first and second video streams, the first video stream output with the image attribute at an adjusted first level, and the second video stream output with the image attribute at the second level.

  • Patent number: 10097611
    Abstract: Individual adjustment of audio volume and video properties in a computer network conference environment is provided. For audio adjustment, a buffer collects incoming streams; a stream decoder decodes the buffered audio streams, a gain adjustment applies a gain increase or decrease to the individual audio stream, and a mixer combines each of the individual signals together. The gain adjustment module receives input from a user interface control associated with each participant, and adjusts the volume of that participant's stream accordingly. If a requested increase in gain would cause an overflow of the signal, only a gain increase that will avoid such overflow is applied. Video properties such as brightness, contrast and saturation are also adjustable. Properties of the user's transmitted audio and video streams are also adjustable.
