    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to techniques for displaying participants in an interface during a group call, and is particularly well-suited to use with small displays. A full-size call interface may be shrunk down into a chathead that makes good use of limited screen real estate, especially when being used on a mobile device. On the smaller chathead, the dominant user is shown, and a roster of users is shrunk and may exhibit reduced functionality. The chathead may be moved around the screen, and other applications may continue to run in the space not occupied by the chathead.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a sharing request to share content generated during a current dialog session from a client system associated with a first user, identifying one or more content objects associated with the sharing request based on a natural-language understanding module, wherein the one or more content objects were previously generated during the current dialog session, determining one or more second users the sharing request is directed to based on a user profile associated with first user, and sending instructions for accessing one or more of the identified content objects to one or more client systems associated with tPhe one or more second users.

    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to techniques for facilitating a connection between two users in a call by providing an “answering window” when a user calls. When a caller places a call to a callee, the call invitation may remain open for a window of time during which the caller remains available. The callee may opt to answer the call at any time during the window. During the window, the caller may be placed in a lobby and may share audio and/or video. Accepting the call during the answering window may place the callee in the lobby or may directly convert the interaction into an active call. The callee may request that the window can be altered, or may signal their intention to answer the call at a particular time.

    Abstract: Embodiments are described for dynamically adapting video encoding to maintain a nearly stable frame rate based on processor capabilities and bandwidth, for example, by varying a quantization parameter. The quality of the encoded video can be varied to maintain the nearly constant frame rate, which may be measured from the number of encoded video frames being transmitted over a network interface.

    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to techniques for selecting which users should be shown in an interface during a group call, and for presenting the users on (potentially small) displays. According to some embodiments, a most-relevant speaker is selected for display on each call participants' screen. When deciding which user to display in the primary window of a video call, a dominant or relevant user is selected. A dominant user may be selected based on the audio energy represented by the audio packets for the user's device; alternatively dominant user selection may be implemented using artificial intelligence or machine learning, allowing for better differentiation between speaking and noise. On each user's display that does not belong to the relevant user, the current relevant user is shown. On the current relevant user's display, the previous relevant user is shown.
