Systems and methods for multi-attendee video conferencing are described. A system can convert from huddle video conference mode to spatial video conference mode. In particular, by assigning user roles, specific users can have greater control of the video conference as compared to other users. For instance, moderators may have a greater level of control of the video conferencing system. Thus, in example implementations of the present disclosure, specific users can affect transition between two or more video conferencing modes, such as between a huddle video conference mode and a spatial video conference mode.

A method, computer system, and a computer program product for deep tagging a recorded review session is provided. The present invention may include identifying a recording segment referencing an artifact in a recorded review session. The present invention may also include generating a bi-directional link between the identified recording segment and the referenced artifact.

A group-based communication platform is configured to detect one or more recurring calls performed via a calling system, such as an external calling platform, and to perform one or more follow-up actions upon detecting a recurring call. The group-based communication platform receives call data for one or more calls, such as previously completed calls or future scheduled calls. The group-based communication platform is further configured to identify user profiles associated with one or more calls, to thereby identify user profiles associated with one or more recurring calls. Thus, the one or more follow-up actions executed by the group-based communication platform for a recurring call is associated with one or more user profiles that are correlated with a recurring call.

Automatic spotlighting of participant video feeds in a video conference are based on one or more triggers detected in the participant video feeds. Participant video feeds are added to a spotlight video queue. The participant video feeds are elevated to an active spotlight status based on certain criteria. The participant video feeds that are elevated to the active spotlight status are displayed adjacent to a host video feed on a display.

Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to an improved group-based communication apparatus that is configured to render one or more workflow interface objects to a group-based communication apparatus in association with an operational sequence set returned by a query. The group-based communication apparatus is configured to detect a workflow trigger event associated with a workflow identifier, retrieve an operational sequence set based upon at least the workflow identifier from a group-based communication workflow repository, initiate the operational sequence set, and cause rendering of one or more workflow interface objects to the group-based communication interface. In some embodiments, the operational sequence sets are associated with a group-defined template.

This disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for videoconferencing. The present implementations more specifically relate to audio signal processing techniques that can be used to identify speakers in a videoconference. In some aspects, an audio signal processor may map each speaker in a videoconference to a respective spatial direction and transform the audio signals received from each speaker using one or more transfer functions associated with the spatial direction to which the speaker is mapped. The audio signal processor may further transmit the transformed audio signals to an audio output device that emits sounds waves having a directionality associated with the transformation. For example, the audio signal processor may apply one or more head-related transfer functions to the audio signals received from a particular speaker so that the sound waves emitted by the audio output device are perceived as originating from the spatial direction to which the speaker is mapped.

Consistent with an embodiment of the present disclosure, a server arrangement provides a web-accessible virtual-meeting interface through which participant identifying information and meeting time information is passed for setting up and establishing a primary meeting. In addition to the primary meeting, various selectable options are provided for one or more participants, including merged audio from the established audio connections to the participants, establishing a secondary meeting and/or automatically moving or reverting connections from/to the primary meeting.

The present disclosure describes techniques for facilitating a collaborative work environment. The techniques comprise creating at least one virtual room accessible by the plurality of users, wherein at least one subset of users are associated with the at least one virtual room, the at least one virtual room enables real-time communications among the at least one subset of users, and the at least one subset of users communicate with each other in the at least one virtual room through a first communication channel; receiving a request from a first user to communicate with at least a second user separately from the first communication channel; and establishing a first sub-communication channel between the first user and the at least a second user while the first communication channel remains accessible to the first user and the at least a second user.

Methods and apparatus for receiving user meeting control for network conferences. In an embodiment, a method for receiving user meeting controls includes transmitting a request to participate in a network conference. The request includes an identifier. The method also includes receiving meeting controls for use during the network conference. The meeting controls are determined from a policy database based on the identifier.
