Abstract: Technology is disclosed for programmatically determining, for a segment of a meeting recording, a user-specific adaptive playback speed, and generating a time-stretched segment playable at the adaptive playback speed. The adaptive playback speed is faster or slower than a default playback speed of the meeting recording. To determine the adaptive playback speed, this disclosure provides technologies to determine a playback data feature based on user-meeting data. The adaptive playback is generated based on the playback data feature. The segment is time-stretched to the adaptive playback speed to generate an updated meeting recording including the segment that is time-stretched and playable at the adaptive playback speed. In this manner, an updated meeting recording, specific to a user, and playable at an adaptive playback speed based on user-meeting data may reduce bandwidth associated with user's manually editing videos or rewinding playback, while improving user experience.

Abstract: An online service may maintain or create data for a user, and a user may be allowed to exert control over how the data are used. In one example, there may be several categories of data, and the user may be able to specify who may use the data, and the purpose for which the data may be used. Additionally, a user may be able to see how many of his “friends” (or other contacts) have extended trust to a particular entity, which may aid the user in making a decision about whether to extend trust to that entity. User interfaces may be provided to allow users to specify how their data are to be used.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media are provided for enabling discovery of a user by a member of an inner circle of the member when the user is in close proximity to the member. An indication is received from a user device indicating members of an inner circle of the user. A private key is sent to the mobile devices of each member of the inner circle. When the user device broadcasts an encrypted identifier, member devices with the private key can decrypt the encrypted identifier, allowing the member to discover that the user is in close proximity. The user can also update membership of the inner circle so that only members presently in the inner circle can discover that the user is in close proximity.

Abstract: Meeting scheduling resources are provided including systems and methods for optimizing proposed meeting details using historical information derived from meeting invitees. A statistical analysis, which may employ machine-learning techniques, may be used to determine a meeting attendance model based on past meetings and/or events, user activity, or other information associated with a user. Meeting patterns and availability for the user also may be used to generate the meeting attendance model. A meeting manager service may implement the meeting attendance models to facilitate schedule future meetings. The meeting manager service may also determine an attendance importance for invitees, a likelihood of attending the proposed meeting, given specific meeting features of the proposed meeting (such as time, location, or other meeting features) and recommend optimal meeting features for the proposed meeting.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media are provided for managing policy and permissions profiles. Individuals or organizations are permitted to author profiles utilizing a profile template and publish such authored profiles for access and adoption by others. Users are able to import desired profiles and subsequently have those imported profiles applied each time he or she accesses an application or service to which the profile pertains. User interfaces from which users may view profiles associated with them, make alterations to settings of profiles associated with them, and/or select from a plurality of profiles for a particular application or service are also provided. Still further, recommendations may be provided to users for policy and permissions profiles based upon, for instance, crowd-sourcing, profiles adopted by social network connections of a user or other users that are “like” a user, prior profile selections made by the user, and/or prior user behavior.
