Video frame rendering criteria for video telephony service

An apparatus for video frame rendering, comprising:

• a processor,
• memory in electronic communication with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• receive a set of video packets over a video connection;
• generate a set of video frames based at least in part on the set of video packets;
• determine to render a video frame of the set of video frames based at least in part on a frame type of the video frame or a rendering criteria comprising a video quality of the video frame, or both, wherein the frame type comprises a perfect frame or a corrupted frame;
• identify a priority of the video quality of the set of video frames based at least in part on a user preference;
• determine a video quality degradation threshold value based at least in part on the priority of the video quality;
• render the video frame of the set of video frames based at least in part on the frame type of the video frame, the video frame satisfying the rendering criteria, or the video quality degradation threshold, or any combination thereof;
• and
• output the rendered video frame for display.
