Methods and systems provide for indication of non-verbal cues within a video communication session. In one embodiment, a method displays, for each of a number of participants within a video communication session, a user interface including participant windows corresponding to the plurality of participants, and a video for each of at least a subset of the participants, where the video is displayed within the corresponding participant window for the participant. The method analyzes, in real time, the video to detect a non-verbal cue from a participant. The method determines that the non-verbal cue has been sustained for a duration that exceeds a designated threshold of time. The method then displays, within the UI of at least one of the participants, a prompt associated with the non-verbal cue.
