Abstract: A selection of a virtual background template that includes a virtual background boundary area is received at a video communication platform. The virtual background template defines at least one of a location, a shape, or a size of the virtual background boundary area. Contextual information about a planned meeting is received. Whether to activate the virtual background boundary area for the planned meeting is determined based on the contextual information. A virtual background is assigned to the virtual background boundary area when activated. Video content that depicts imagery of a first user is received. A composite video depicting the first user overlaid on the virtual background within the activated virtual background boundary area is generated for display during the planned meeting.

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.

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. Based on the contextual information of a meeting, the system selects a virtual background to be used for the meeting. During, a video meeting, the system generates for display, on one or more client devices, a composite video depicting the imagery of the user overlaid on imagery of the selected virtual background.

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.
