Abstract: A computer stores a reference image representing a physical background within a field of view of a camera of a client device. The computer receives, via the camera and during a video conference to which the client device is connected, camera-generated visual data for output to at least one remote device connected to the video conference. The computer identifies, based on facial recognition applied to the camera-generated visual data, foreground imagery representing at least one person and background imagery representing content of the camera-generated visual data other than the foreground imagery. The computer identifies a difference between the background imagery and the reference image. The computer generates a composite image by replacing, within the background imagery of the camera-generated visual data, an item represented within the background imagery and within the identified difference with a co-located part of the reference image.

Abstract: The output of visual content at various follower devices within a physical space is selectively controlled during a video conference. Multiple displays located at a physical space are designated as follower devices, in which the follower device designation of the multiple displays enables a leader device located at the physical space to control the multiple displays for a video conference. A configuration is enforced to cause, during the video conference, an output of first visual data associated with the video conference at a first display of the multiple displays and an output of second visual data associated with the video conference at a second display of the multiple displays. The leader device and the follower devices are collectively represented as a single logical entity to the video conference.

Abstract: The capture of video streams using follower devices is controlled by a leader device during a video conference. Multiple cameras located at a physical space and connected to the leader device within the physical space are identified.
