    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method including detecting attention by a user to a presentation displayed at an audiovisual presentation device. A real-time image of the user is obtained and stored local to the audiovisual presentation device. The image is analyzed to determine a presence in the image of a facial feature of the user; the device determines, based on the presence of the facial feature, whether the user is attentive to the presentation. When the user is not attentive to the presentation, a procedure is initiated at the audiovisual presentation device to reduce resource consumption by the device; the procedure can include continuing the presentation at a video quality level lower than at the beginning of the presentation, reducing a brightness of the display, continuing the presentation with only the audio portion, and discontinuing the presentation. Other embodiments are disclosed.
