A method for repairing a recording of a web conference session may include generating, at a first client device, a first recording of the web conference session with a second client device. The quality of the data received from the second client device may be monitored. In response to the quality of the data being below a threshold level, a first command to start a second recording of the web conference session at the second client device may be sent to the second client device. The first recording of the web conference session may be sent to a repair engine to enable the repair engine to generate a third recording of the web conference session in which a first portion of the first recording is replaced and/or combined with at least a second portion of the second recording. Related systems and articles of manufacture are also provided.

A method and a device for viewing a conference are provided. In the method, after a wide-view video of a specific conference, related conference event data, and speech content of each participant are obtained, a highlight video of the specific conference is correspondingly generated. Accordingly, the efficiency of conference viewing is improved.

An apparatus, a system, a method and a computer program product are provided. The system includes a controller configured to broadcast a web-based meeting between a first user and a second user. The system further includes a graphical user interface configured to display the broadcasted web-based meeting. The controller is configured to receive a request from the first user through the graphical user interface. The request includes one of a text question, a recorded video question and a request from the first user to present a live video question to the second user. The controller is further configured to broadcast the request through the graphical user interface as a real time video feed of the first user, so that the first user can ask the question in real time and the second user can respond to the first user's question in real time.

A system and method for real-life interactive experience between virtual participants in a gathering of up to thousands of people attending a streamed event, using their computers and mobile devices. The virtual participants sit at boxes and tables at the event and see video and hear audio of other participants sitting at the same table and box. The participants interact with other participants of their choosing without disturbing the rest of the participants. They can use local chat boxes and global chat boxes to chat with the participants of the event. The participants may virtually move from one area to another area of the event using the event layout and sit in a new area of their choosing as they would at an in-person event while watching the streaming of the event thus providing a close to real-life experience of interacting with the event participants.

Techniques are disclosed for automatically executing scripts for event in response to user activity within the event. A server executing a video conferencing service, receives meeting scheduling information and a set of user-specified scripting information from a user requesting to generate an event. In response to receiving a request from user device to access the event, the server causes display of an event interface to the device, the displayed interface including indications of sub-groups of a group of users accessing the conferencing service via a plurality of user devices and an indication of a video feed of a user in the group of users that is currently active. In response to one or more triggers corresponding to the event, one or more scripts are executed for the event, where executing the one or more scripts includes altering the displayed interface.

A real-time visualization module comprising a database and a set of software components programmed to enable the real-time visualization module to operate concurrently with a video conferencing module, provide an application programming interface to a user that enables the user to upload and organize content to the database, deliver content from the database to users in real-time, wherein said content is displayed by the video conferencing module, and configure a server to display through the video conferencing module the manipulations made to the content in real-time. By providing a real-time visualization module, a presentation host may easily share content uploaded to said database for active content sharing without sharing their desktop, thus ensuring only pertinent content is shared with participants. Additionally, content may be shared with participants in a way that allows them to actively influence or manipulate the content presented to other participants or independently from other participants.

Described are methods and systems in which the censorship and supervision tasks normally performed by secured facility personnel are augmented or automated entirely by a Secure Nonscheduled Video Visitation System. In embodiments, the Secure Nonscheduled Video Visitation System performs voice biometrics, speech recognition, non-verbal audio classification, fingerprint and other biometric authentication, image object classification, facial recognition, body joint location determination analysis, and/or optical character recognition on the video visitation data. The Secure Nonscheduled Video Visitation utilizes these various analysis techniques in concert to determine if all rules and regulations enforced by the jurisdiction operation the secured facility are being followed by the parties to the video visitation session.

Provided are a data processing method for a multimedia conference, a data processing apparatus for a multimedia conference, and an electronic device. The method includes: receiving a multimedia data stream sent by a conference participant user of the multimedia conference; generating, according to a received recording instruction for the multimedia conference, storage data of the multimedia conference based on the multimedia data stream sent by the conference participant user; and storing the storage data in cloud.

A method for a privacy-aware transcription includes receiving audio-visual signal including audio data and image data for a speech environment and a privacy request from a participant in the speech environment where the privacy request indicates a privacy condition of the participant. The method further includes segmenting the audio data into a plurality of segments. For each segment, the method includes determining an identity of a speaker of a corresponding segment of the audio data based on the image data and determining whether the identity of the speaker of the corresponding segment includes the participant associated with the privacy condition. When the identity of the speaker of the corresponding segment includes the participant, the method includes applying the privacy condition to the corresponding segment. The method also includes processing the plurality of segments of the audio data to determine a transcript for the audio data.

Example methods and systems provide a participant attending a videoconference with a user interface indicator that signals access to personal information. More particularly, the indicator can signal that a companion application being used by attendees of the videoconference is accessing or has accessed videoconference meeting data that includes the personal information. In some examples, the participant can subsequently interact with the user interface to obtain additional information about the companion application. For example, the participant may be able to display user identifiers of the attendees using the companion application and/or a description of the companion application.
