A method for controlling an autoexposure function of a camera to a gray level setting, the method including establishing a critical exposure time of an image sensing device of the camera, wherein the critical exposure time of the image sensing device of the camera is an exposure time at which a first sensed gray level of the image sensing device of the camera is disposed at a target gray level, the sensed gray level is disposed in a trend of decreasing sensed gray level values; exposing the image sensing device of the camera to light to obtain a second sensed gray level and comparing the second sensed gray level at the critical exposure time to the target gray level, if the second sensed gray level is disposed at least at the target gray level, limiting the exposure of the image sensing device of the camera to the critical exposure time.

Virtual Background Adjustment Based On Conference Participant Lighting Levels
20230231972 · 2023-07-20 ·

A system can automatically adjust a virtual background used by a participant in a video conference to match lighting level conditions present in a foreground of a participant video stream captured at a participant device. The matching can be done by adjusting one or more virtual background parameters, including but not limited to, exposure, brightness, contrast, and ISO. In some implementations, the system can dynamically or automatically adjust the lighting levels of the virtual background based on changes that may occur to the lighting level of the foreground during the video conference.
