Embodiment Construction

[0029] This disclosure provides techniques for enhancing user experience when joining a teleconferencing session with multiple devices. Prior to joining the teleconferencing session, the teleconferencing system may generate teleconferencing data including a plurality of streams associated with the teleconferencing session. The teleconferencing system may also receive a first request to join a teleconferencing session from a first computing device associated with the first user identity. The first user identity can be associated with a particular user or participant of the teleconferencing session. Additionally, the request can be instantiated at the first computing device using a user interface. The first computing device may be a master device configured to anchor the immersive teleconferencing experience.

[0030] In response to the request, the teleconferencing system may transmit the teleconferencing data to the first computing device to display or cause display of the m...

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a number of techniques for enhancing a user's experience when joining teleconference sessions with multiple devices. When a user attempts to join a teleconference session using the same user identity for multiple devices, a system differentiates the devices as a primary device and at least one companion device. The primary device has a first control set for controlling a teleconference session and the at least one companion device has a companion control set for sharing content. In some embodiments, the primary device also has one set of selected streams, e.g.,a stage view, and the companion device has a subset of those streams or other streams based on an activity level. In addition, the present disclosure provides a number of techniques for enabling usersto share content using the companion devices.

Description

Background technique [0001] Communication and collaboration are key aspects of people's lives, including both social and business. Communication and collaboration tools have been developed with the aim of connecting people to each other to share experiences. In many cases, the purpose of these tools is to provide experiences that reflect real-life interactions between individuals and groups over the web. Interaction is typically provided through audio and / or visual elements. [0002] These tools include instant messaging, voice calls, video calls, group chats, shared desktops, shared media and content, shared applications, and more. These tools can perform the capture, manipulation, transmission, and reproduction of audio and visual elements, as well as experiment with various combinations of these elements to provide a collaborative environment. A user may access these tools at a user device, which may be provided by a laptop or desktop computer, mobile phone, tablet devic...
