Abstract: A communication device provides selective subject-based presentation of a received segmented video feed. A processor receives the video feed from a video presentation session and determines that the video feed is a subject-based segmented video feed having a primary segment within which a primary subject is presented, and at least one secondary segment having at least one secondary subject. The segments can be individually selected for local presentation on a display device. The processor determines a user preference for local viewing options of the video presentation session from among (i) presenting the primary segment and the secondary segment, (ii) presenting only the primary segment, and (iii) presenting one or more of the at least one secondary segments, but not the primary segment. The processor provides a resulting video feed on the display device presenting only content of specific segments of the received video feed that correspond to the user preference.

The mobile device identifies an impairment of a user of the mobile device. One or more configuration settings for a user interface of the external presentation device are determined based on the impairment of the user. These configuration settings are, for example, an indication of a particular audio level, an indication to perform text to speech, an indication of a particular type of color blindness, and so forth. The configuration settings are communicated to the external presentation device, allowing the external presentation device to be configured for or adapted to the impairment of the user.
