  • Patent number: 12375610
    Abstract: Communications between participants of a video conference are accentuated based on a participant's focus. A first participant of a video conference is determined to be focused on a user interface element associated with a second participant of the video conference. Responsive to the determining that the first participant is focused on the user interface element associated with the second participant, relative audio levels of communications are changed for the second participant such that a first audio level for communications from the first participant to the second participant is higher than a second audio level for other communications received by the second participant.

  • Publication number: 20240330587
    Abstract: In some implementations, techniques disclosed herein may include receiving, from a chat session by a video conference provider, text from a first client device associated with a first user. In addition, the techniques may include segmenting the text into one or more words. The techniques may include identifying one or more preliminarily misspelled words based on a first lexicon. Moreover, the techniques may include determining, for at least one of the one or more preliminarily misspelled words, whether the respective preliminarily misspelled word is correctly spelled based on a second lexicon. Also, the techniques may include responsive to determining the preliminarily misspelled word is correctly spelled, identifying the preliminarily misspelled word as correctly spelled.

  • Publication number: 20240144194
    Abstract: A digital calendar system that automates the scheduling of buffer time blocks in a user calendar. The buffer time block is for indicating that a presence state of the user is busy during the buffer time block. The digital calendar system updates a user calendar to include an event time block associated with an event for a user of a digital calendar system, generates, based on the event time block, a buffer time block, and updates the user calendar to include the buffer time block temporally adjacent to the event time block.

  • Publication number: 20240095681
    Abstract: A connection of users to a multi-user virtual space is detected. A multi-user virtual sub-space within the multi-user virtual space is formed. A group of users from among the users are assigned to the multi-user virtual sub-space. Media exchanges are focused for the group of users within the multi-user virtual sub-space by limiting a perception level of media exchanges between users not assigned to the multi-user virtual sub-space relative to users assigned to the multi-user virtual sub-space.

  • Publication number: 20240078517
    Abstract: A system may apply a security configuration to a digital calendar corresponding to a first user. The digital calendar may be maintained by calendar software. The digital calendar may include an event having multiple event details including a date for the event and a time for the event. Access to the multiple event details may be limited to the first user by the security configuration. The system may access a data structure in a data store to determine a connection between the first user and a second user based on a user attribute associated with the second user. The system may change the security configuration to grant access to an event detail of the multiple event details to a device associated with the second user based on the connection between the first user and the second user.
