Method and system for dynamically adjusting a camera setting for a video stream

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, upon execution by a processor, cause performance of a set of acts comprising:

• receiving, by a computing system, video content captured by a camera operating in accordance with a camera capture setting;
• encoding, by the computing system, in accordance with one or more encoding parameters, the video content to generate a video stream representing the video content;
• and
• while generating the video stream:
• (i) determining, by the computing system, an amount of packets in a memory buffer;
• (ii) determining, by the computing system, a time period since the camera capture setting was last adjusted;
• and
• (iii) using, by the computing system, the determined amount of packets in the memory buffer and the determined time period since the camera capture setting was last adjusted as a basis to adjust the camera capture setting.

A computing system comprising:

• a camera;
• and
• a memory buffer,
• wherein the computing system is configured for performing a set of acts comprising:
• receiving video content captured by the camera operating in accordance with a camera capture setting;
• encoding, in accordance with one or more encoding parameters, the video content to generate a video stream representing the video content;
• and
• while generating the video stream:
• (i) determining an amount of packets in the memory buffer;
• (ii) determining a time period since the camera capture setting was last adjusted;
• and
• (iii) using the determined amount of packets in the memory buffer and the determined time period since the camera capture setting was last adjusted as a basis to adjust the camera capture setting.
