A video stream of a second peer involved in the video communication is received. Image content of the video stream of the second peer is modified to create a modified video stream of the second peer. The video stream of the first peer and the modified video stream of the second peer are combined to create a composite video.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a process on a computer receives a callback in response to an intercepted outbound web service connection called by an application executing on the computer. The process extracts information from the callback, e.g., at least a URL for the outbound web service connection and a code location within the application from which the outbound web service connection was called. Additionally due to the callback, the process obtains access to a core TCP socket for the outbound web service connection. The process determines how to modify socket options of the core TCP socket based on selected criteria according to the extracted information from the callback, and may then modify the socket options of the core TCP socket according to the determining. The modified socket options thus cause downstream network devices to handle traffic on the outbound web service connection based on the modified socket options.

Abstract: Coordination of rate limiting calculations and updates, for multiple interrelated services, at a single computer at a single logical location on a computer network, instead of coordinating rate limit calculations by direct data communications among and between the various machines hosting the interrelated services that are subject to rate limiting. In some of these embodiments, advantages to doing this may include: (i) reducing the number and/or bandwidth consumption of data communications needed to perform rate limiting calculations and determinations; and/or (ii) setting appropriate rate limits for only the “highest level” services (that is, the services that are initially called by users, as opposed to the services that the highest level service call (directly or indirectly)).
