  • Publication number: 20240273795
    Abstract: A virtual background associated with a first user of a virtual meeting is identified. In response to identifying the virtual background associated with the first user, a device associated with a second user of the virtual meeting is synchronized to use the virtual background during the virtual meeting. A composite video depicting the first user or the second user overlaid on the virtual background is generated for display on a device connected to the virtual meeting.

  • Publication number: 20240129438
    Abstract: Usage of the same virtual background during video communications associated with multiple meetings is identified. Common information details in respective information details of the multiple meetings are identified. A virtual background selection rule that associates the common information details of each of the multiple meetings with the same virtual background is automatically generated. A determination is made that information details of a planned meeting matches the common information details. In response to determining that the information details of the planned meeting matches the common information details, the same virtual background of the virtual background selection rule is used for display during the planned meeting.

  • Patent number: 11902710
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media relate to a method for providing video communications with dynamic virtual backgrounds within a communication platform. The system establishes a connection with the calendar account of a user. The calendar account maintains historic and planned meeting details for the user. The system may evaluate the calendar account of the user and automatically generate use rules for virtual backgrounds to be used for planned meetings. Based on contextual information of a planned meeting, the system may apply one of the generated rules and select a virtual background to be used for video communications during the meeting.
