Abstract: Example embodiments are directed to providing a zoomable meeting and collaborative canvas with image pointers. In example embodiments, a video management system establishes a zoomable meeting by communicatively coupling a plurality of user devices. A live audio/video feed is received from one or more users of the plurality of user devices. The system causes display of the zoomable meeting on a display of each of the plurality of user devices by displaying a zoomable canvas that enables movement of one or more image pointers that each show the live audio-video feed of one of the one or more users. The system monitors for an image pointer operation for one of the image pointers, whereby the image pointer operation comprises a navigation command or a zoom command. Based on the image pointer operation, the system causes an update to the zoomable canvas to display performance of the image pointer operation.

Abstract: A system is configured to enhance a video feed in real time. A live video feed captured by a video capturing device is received. A presentation of the live video feed on one or more client devices is enhanced. The enhancing includes causing a first content item of a plurality of content items to be displayed at a first location within the presentation of the five video feed. Based on a detecting of a first instance of a first gesture made by a hand at the first location in the live video feed, a content item manipulation mode with respect to the first content item is entered. The entering of the content item manipulation mode with respect to the first content includes at least one of causing the first content item to be moved within the presentation of the live video feed based on a movement of the hand or causing a scale of the first content item to be changed within the presentation of the live video feed based on a detecting of a second gesture made by the hand.

Abstract: An electronic presentation system comprising: one or more computer processors operatively coupled to one or more computer memories storing a set of instructions for configuring the one or more computer processors to perform operations comprising: causing display of a motion picture image sequence (MPIS) captured at a first computing device, within display screens at multiple computing devices; causing display of first multiple content items, on the display screens of the multiple computing devices, separate from the MPIS; and based at least in part upon receiving at the presentation management system from the first computing device, first relocation information indicating a first content item, causing relocation of display of the of the first content item, to within the MPIS displayed at the multiple computing devices.
