Abstract: Described are systems and methods that enable secure real time communication (“RTC”) sessions that may be used, for example, for editing and movie production. Client devices may interact with an RTC management system to collaborate on different files retained on the different client devices, without the files having to be uploaded from the client device on which it is stored. In addition, on-going multifactor authentication may be performed for each client device of an RTC session during the RTC session and/or video authentication may be used to grant access into an RTC session. Still further, to improve the quality of the exchanged video information and to reduce transmission requirements, in response to detection of events, such as a pause event, a high resolution image of a paused video may be generated and sent for presentation on the display of each client device, instead of continuing to stream a paused video.
