Method and apparatus for self-selection by participant to display a mirrored or unmirrored video feed of the participant in a videoconferencing platform
Abstract:
A gallery view or a virtual space view is provided in an online meeting user interface associated with a videoconferencing system. The gallery view or virtual space view displays video feeds of meeting participants on their respective participant computers. The video feeds are camera-captured views of each of the meeting participants. The videoconferencing system receives an electronic request from one or more meeting participants via the meeting participant's respective participant computer to either display a mirrored view of the video feed of the meeting participant to all meeting participants in the online meeting, or display an unmirrored view of the video feed of the meeting participant to all meeting participants in the online meeting. A video processor associated with the videoconferencing system creates the respective mirrored or unmirrored view of the video feed of each of the meeting participants whose participant computer sent the electronic request. The videoconferencing system then generates instructions for a gallery view or virtual space view in the online meeting user interface using the mirrored or unmirrored view of the video feeds created by the video processor, and transmits instructions to display the gallery view or virtual space view to all meeting participants on their respective participant computers.
