Using the location of a near-end user in a video stream to adjust audio settings of a far-end system

An article of manufacture, comprising:

• a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium that stores instructions which, when executed by a processor in a computer,
• determine an amount of area in a first frame of a video stream occupied by a near-end audio source, wherein the video stream is captured by a near-end system along with a corresponding audio stream;
• determine a first set of audio parameters to apply to the audio stream based on the determined amount of area in the first frame of the video stream occupied by the near-end audio source;
• and
• play the audio stream using the first set of audio parameters to emit sound through one or more transducers in a speaker system of a far-end system.

A far-end system for adjusting audio, comprising:

• a network interface for receiving an audio stream and a video stream captured by a near-end system;
• and
• a hardware processor to:
• determine a first set of audio parameters to apply to the audio stream based on a determined amount of area in a first frame of the video stream occupied by a near-end audio source;
• and
• play the audio stream using the first set of audio parameters to emit sound through one or more transducers in a speaker system of the far-end system.
