Abstract
A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a multi-camera switching service is provided. The service may include support of the use of multiple cameras by a user in a video-based communication session. The service may automatically switch between cameras during the session based on switching camera criteria and other configuration data. The service may include facial detection, default camera settings, debouncing, and blending services. The service may also allow the user to transmit a video feed to a subset of participants.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- establishing, by a device, a video-based communication session with end devices associated with users;
- receiving, by the device, camera feeds associated with cameras and a first user of the users participating in the video-based communication session;
- analyzing, by the device, the camera feeds based on one or multiple criteria;
- selecting, by the device based on the analyzing, one of the camera feeds to transmit to one or more of the end devices;
- and
- transmitting, by the device, the one of the camera feeds to the one or more of the end devices.
A device comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- establish a video-based communication session with end devices associated with users;
- receive camera feeds associated with cameras and a first user of the users participating in the video-based communication session;
- analyze the camera feeds based on one or multiple criteria;
- select, based on the analysis, one of the camera feeds to transmit to one or more of the end devices;
- and
- transmit the one of the camera feeds to the one or more of the end devices.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions executable by a processor of a device, wherein the instructions are configured to:
- establish a video-based communication session with end devices associated with users;
- receive camera feeds associated with cameras and a first user of the users participating in the video-based communication session;
- analyze the camera feeds based on one or multiple criteria;
- select, based on the analysis, one of the camera feeds to transmit to one or more of the end devices;
- and
- transmit the one of the camera feeds to the one or more of the end devices.
