    摘要: Computer methods and systems allow for selective control of the audio and visual output of users in a virtual conference room. For example, users may be grouped into groups, and users within a group may see and hear other users within that group more prominently than users outside the group. Groups may be associated with other groups as peripheral, and users in a group associated as peripheral may see and hear other users in the peripheral group less prominently. Additionally, a user may be designated as a main speaker, and all users may see and hear that main speaker more prominently than other users in the virtual conference room. Further, a user may direct audio input to one or more users through a whisper. AI may be used to improve the system.

    摘要: Systems and methods for providing synchronous transmission of streaming media are disclosed. One method may include: receiving, from a first user device associated with a first user, a request to invite a second user to a virtual media streaming session; retrieving, from the at least one database, a second user profile, the second user profile identifying a second user device associated with the second user; transmitting, subsequent to the retrieving, instructions to the second user device to present a notification alerting the second user of the request; determining, using a processor, whether a response accepting the request is detected from the second user device; and connecting, responsive to determining that the response accepting the request was detected, the second user profile to the virtual media streaming session; wherein multimedia content presented in the virtual media streaming session is simultaneously viewable on the first user device and the second user device.

    摘要: A system may transmit, from a first user device connected to a video conference and associated with a conference participant, an indication to a peripheral device to temporarily buffer a portion of media content of the video conference. The system may perform, within the video conference, a transition of the conference participant from the first user device to a second user device connected to the video conference including causing the peripheral device to relay the portion of the media content during the transition. In some implementations, the portion of the media content may be buffered by storing less than a predefined amount of time of the media content received by the first user device in a random access memory of the peripheral device.
