Abstract: A conference gallery view intelligence system determines regions of interest for display within views of conferencing software based on input streams received from devices within a conference room during a conference. Conference participants are detected in the conference room based on an input video stream received from a video capture device. A direction of audio from the conference participants is determined based on an input audio stream received from a multi-directional audio capture device. A conversational context within the conference room is then determined based on the direction of the audio and locations of the one or more conference participants in the conference room. A region of interest to output within conferencing software is determined based on the conversational context, and the region of interest is output for display within a view of the conferencing software.

Abstract: Access to functionality of a software service is enabled at a first device associated with a user based on the first device being in a primary mode. A connection may thereafter be established between the software service and a second device associated with the same user. In response to that connection, access to a subset of the functionality of the software service is limited at the second device based on the second device being in a secondary mode determined based on the second device. Because the first device and the second device are used by the same user, the software service does not represent those devices as separate users of the software service, but rather identifies only the first device, as the primary mode device, in connection with the user to other users of the software service.

Abstract: Content items are rearranged within a digital collaboration space (e.g., a digital whiteboard) based on category metadata determined for the content items using one or more learning models. The content items are added to the digital collaboration space by one or more users. For each of the content items, category metadata is determined using a learning model that processes information associated with the content item. A rearrangement of the content items is determined based on the category metadata determined for each of the content items. The content items, rearranged according to the rearrangement, are then output to a layer of the digital collaboration space. Other rearrangements of the content items can be determined based on non-category metadata associated with the content items, and the content items, rearranged according to those other rearrangements, can be output to other layers of the digital collaboration space.

Abstract: User interface (UI) tiles of conference participants are arranged in a UI of conferencing software according to relative locations of those conference participants within a conference room. Positional information and video data are obtained from one or more video capture devices located within a conference room. Relative locations of conference participants within the conference room are determined based on the positional information, such as by defining coordinates for the conference participants within a coordinate system based on the positional information and the video data and determining the relative locations based on the coordinates. Output configured to cause a client application to arrange UI tiles associated with the conference participants is generated according to the relative locations. The output is then transmitted to one or more client devices to cause a UI of conferencing software at each of those client devices to display the UI tiles in the specified arrangement.

Abstract: Content-aware device selection is performed for modifying content elements in digital collaboration spaces. A content element, such as a text box or drawing space, is detected within a digital collaboration space based on input received from a first device of a first device type. A second device type to use to modify the content element is determined based on a content type of the content element. One or more devices of that second device type which are authenticated to access the digital collaboration space are identified. At least one of those authenticated devices are then prompted for input to use to modify the content element. The content element is then modified within the digital collaboration space based on the input received from at least one of those prompted devices.

Abstract: Reservations of resources within a dynamic workspace are made and facilitated including by pushing configurations specific to a worker for whom a reservation is made to the resource for a limited time period for the reservation. When the worker arrives for the reservation and checks in, configurations associated with the worker are obtained and pushed to the resource to configure the resource for use by the worker for a time period of the reservation. In some cases, an identity of the worker may be verified to complete the check in process for the reservation. In response to an end time of the reservation being determined, such as based on a scheduled end time for the reservation or based on a determination that the resource has gone unused for some amount of time, the configurations are removed from the resource to prepare the resource for use by a next worker.

Abstract: The future presence of a worker in a dynamic workspace which includes resources for temporary use may be signaled to other workers. In response a first worker making a reservation of a resource, a second worker to indicate the future presence of that first worker to is determined based on communication records associated with the first worker and the second worker. An indication of the reservation of the resource for the first worker, and thus the future presence of that first worker in an office which includes that reserved resource, is accordingly signaled to the second worker. A suggested resource for the second worker may then be determined based on the reservation of the resource for the first worker. In response to the second worker making a reservation of the suggested resource, a reservation record indicating the reservation of the suggested resource for the second worker may then be generated.

Abstract: A conference gallery view intelligence system determines at least two regions of interest within a conference room based on an input video stream received from a video capture device located within the conference room. An output video stream for rendering within conferencing software is produced for each of the at least two regions of interest. The output video stream for each of the at least two regions of interest is then transmitted to one or more client devices connected to the conferencing software.

Abstract: Inter-party communications, such as telephony communications, virtual meeting communications, or messaging communications, are switched between clients while in progress. An inter-party communication may be detected at a first client. A channel may then be opened between the first client and a second client responsive to an operator initiating switching the inter-party communication from the first client to the second client. The inter-party communication may be switched from the first client to the second client using the channel while the inter-party communication remains in progress. The inter-party communication may then be continued at the second client.

Abstract: Application interactions are seamlessly moved between clients of a software platform. An application-based interaction initiated at a first client for which use by an operator is pre-authenticated is detected. An indication of the application-based interaction is signaled to one or more other clients for which use by the operator is pre-authenticated. A determination is made to switch the application-based interaction to a second client of those other clients. The application-based interaction is switched from the first client to the second client while the application-based interaction remains in progress, such as using a communication channel opened between the first client and the second client. The operator may then continue and eventually terminate the application-based interaction at the second client.
