US 11,637,990 B1 · Apparatus, methods, and program products for managing video filters

Abstract

Apparatus, methods, and computer program products for managing video filters are disclosed. One apparatus includes a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code is executable by the processor to detect whether a video feed for a user participating in a video conference on a video conferencing platform includes a video filter and, in response to detecting that the video feed includes a video filter, determine whether the video filter is socially suitable for an environment of the video conference. Methods and computer program products that include and/or perform the operations and/or functions of the apparatus are also disclosed.

Claims20

Dependent claims

An apparatus, comprising:

a processor;
and
a memory configured to store code executable by the processor to:
detect whether a video feed for a first user participating in a video conference on a video conferencing platform includes a video filter mask, and
in response to detecting that the video feed includes a video filter mask:
determine a video filter type for the video filter mask,
determine an environment type for an environment of the video conference, and
determine whether the video filter mask is socially suitable for the environment of the video conference based on a comparison of the video filter type and the environment type.

5 more elements

A method, comprising:

detecting, by a processor, whether a video feed for a first user participating in a video conference on a video conferencing platform includes a video filter mask;
and
in response to detecting that the video feed includes a video filter mask:
determining a video filter type for the video filter mask,
determine an environment type for an environment of the video conference, and
determining whether the video filter mask is socially suitable for the environment of the video conference based on a comparison of the video filter type and the environment type.

3 more elements

A computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium including code embodied therewith, the code executable by a processor to cause the processor to:

detect whether a video feed for a first user participating in a video conference on a video conferencing platform includes a video filter mask;
and
in response to detecting that the video feed includes a video filter mask:
determine a video filter type for the video filter mask,
determine an environment type for an environment of the video conference, and
determine whether the video filter mask is socially suitable for the environment of the video conference based on a comparison of the video filter type and the environment type.
