Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology provide for transcription of audio content during a conferencing session, such as an audio conferencing session or a video conferencing session. The transcription can be generated by the device at which the audio input is received, and transmitted to a remote device at which the transcription is displayed. Video content can also be provided from the device that generates the transcription to the remote device that displays in the transcription. The transcription can be provided with time information corresponding to time information in the video content, for synchronized display of the transcription and the corresponding video content.

Abstract: Techniques presented herein provide an improved relay user experience and improved management of scarce computing and network resources as the number of relay endpoints increases. A sourcing endpoint device may generate a media feed, such as video and/or audio feed, representing contribution from a conference participant. The sourcing endpoint device may generate a priority value for the media feed, and the priority value may be transmitted to other members of the relay along with the input feed. Priority values of the different relay participants may be used by other devices, for example, intermediate servers or receiving endpoint devices, to manage aspects of the relay. For example, a relay server may prune streams from select endpoint devices based on relative priority values received from those devices. Alternatively, receiving endpoint devices may alter presentation of received feeds based on their associated priority values.

Abstract: An electronic device communicates with a display, an input device, and a wearable audio output device. The device displays a user interface with dynamic visual representations of participants in a communication session. Outputting, via the wearable audio output device, audio from the plurality of participants in the communication session. The audio is adjusted to maintain simulated spatial locations of participants relative to a frame of reference of the communication session, independently of a position of the wearable audio output device relative to the frame of reference. The simulated spatial locations correspond to the locations of the dynamic visual representations. Receiving an input selecting one of the dynamic visual representations. In response, displaying the dynamic visual representations at locations different from their initial locations, and outputting audio from the participants to position their audio at a different simulated spatial locations, relative to the frame of reference.

Abstract: A device implementing a system for audio-video conferencing using multiple stream identifiers includes a processor configured to receive, from a sending device, indication of a first content stream and a first stream identifier, and indication of a second content stream and a second stream identifier associated. The first content stream and the second content stream correspond to different bit rates of streaming content. The processor is configured to receive, from a receiving device, a request to subscribe to the second content stream, the request including the second stream identifier, and receive, from the sending device, an indication that the second stream identifier has been associated with the first content stream. The processor is configured to forward, to the receiving device, the first content stream based on the request to subscribe to the second content stream and on the indication that the second stream identifier has been associated with the first content stream.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to manage communication sessions to handover between a direct connection at a secondary wireless device and a relayed connection to the secondary wireless device via a primary wireless device. A connection manager of a secondary wireless device can trigger transfer of a communication session based on measurements of performance metrics for the communication session. Upon detection of performance degradation in a local connection or a backhaul connection or both, the connection manager of the secondary wireless device can determine proximity of and/or capabilities for connections of the primary wireless device and instigate transfer of the communication session between different connection types, such as between a direct connection and a relayed connection. The transfer of the communication session can occur without user intervention or in response to input from the user without interrupting or reestablishing the communication session.
