Abstract: Adaptive content masking is provided. Content visibility customizations are applied to a view of shared information by respective participants during screen sharing in a web conferencing meeting using content visibility control settings. Content visibility is adjusted via adaptive learning based on frequency and type of screen sharing previously completed between a content presenter and respective participants of the web conferencing meeting. Content masking is applied adaptively based on monitoring the shared information and correlating the shared information with respective participants by retrieving meeting information prior to the web conferencing meeting and retrieving screen capture attributes from metadata of the web conferencing meeting that are mapped to the shared information being displayed on screens corresponding to respective participants.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of using entity name mapping for routing network traffic having encrypted SNI headers. A name resolution request that specifies an entity name is intercepted. Translation of the entity name to a representation of an IP address associated with the entity name is caused. A mapping that cross-references the representation of the IP address to the entity name is stored. A data transfer request that requests establishment of a connection to a destination corresponding to the representation of the IP address is intercepted. The data transfer request includes an encrypted SNI header and a payload. Establishment of the connection to the destination is initiated by providing the encrypted SNI header, the payload, and metadata toward the destination. The metadata includes the entity name based on the mapping.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for providing content during reduced streaming quality. Data streaming is susceptible to degradation in quality that adversely affects the delivery of content. For example, sufficient reduction in streaming quality can cause video and audio portions of a data stream to become unsynchronized. The system compares currently streamed video frames to previously received video frames to identify suitable replacement video frames for the currently streamed video frames in the event that the currently streamed video frames are affected by the sufficiently reduced streaming quality.
