Abstract:
Systems and methods for conducting a videoconference including receiving multimedia streams of a plurality of participants in a multimedia conference, the multimedia streams including audio components and video components and displaying video tiles of the participants on a display screen. The audio components and/or the video components of the multimedia streams are analyzed to detect characteristics indicative of a first participant and a second participant having a first conversation with each other. Camera positions on the computing devices of the participants are identified. In response to identifying that the first participant and the second participant are having the first conversation with each other, a video tile for the first participant and a video tile for the second participant are moved to edges of the respective display screens toward the camera positions.
