Abstract: A device may include a processor configured to monitor a user of a video conferencing application. The processor may be further configured to determine that the user corresponds to a passive user based on the monitoring; switch a setting for the video conferencing application for the user from real-time video to video streaming, in response to determining that the user corresponds to a passive user; generate a delay between receiving content via the video conferencing application and playing the content by the video conferencing application, wherein the delay progressively increases from no delay to a particular delay value over a time period, in response to switching the setting for the video conferencing application for the user from real-time video to video streaming; and play the received content using the video conferencing application based on the generated delay.

Abstract: An audio/video stream may include an audio stream and a video stream. The video stream may be decomposed into a plurality of face streams. Each of the face streams may include a cropped version of the video stream and be focused on the face of one of the individuals captured in the video stream. Facial recognition may be used to associate each of the face streams with an identity of the individual captured in the respective face stream. Additionally, voice recognition may be used to recognize the identity of the active speaker in the audio stream. The face stream associated with an identity matching the active speaker's identity may be labeled as the face stream of the active speaker. In a “Room SplitView” mode, the face stream of the active speaker is rendered in a more prominent manner than the other face streams.
