A computing system and method that can be used for safe and privacy preserving video representations of participants in a videoconference. In particular, the present disclosure provides a general pipeline for generating reconstructions of videoconference participants based on semantic statuses and/or activity statuses of the participants. The systems and methods of the present disclosure allow for videoconferences that convey necessary or meaningful information of participants through presentation of generalized representations of participants while filtering unnecessary or unwanted information from the representations by leveraging machine-learning models.
