  • Frame synchronous rendering of remote participant identities
    Patent number: 11356488
    Abstract: During an online meeting, captured video content generated at an endpoint is analyzed. A participant at the endpoint is identified from the captured video content utilizing face recognition analysis of an isolated facial image of the participant within the captured video content. Identified participant information is generated, modified and/or maintained in response to one or more changes associated with the captured video content, where the one or more changes includes an identification of each participant at the endpoint and/or a change in location of one or more identified participants at the endpoint. In response to a determination of one or more criteria being satisfied, the identified participant information is provided in video content for transmission to a remote endpoint (to facilitate display of identifiers for one or more identified participants in the display at the remote endpoint).
