Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for gesture-initiated actions in videoconferences. In one implementation, a processing device receives content streams during a communication session, identifies a request for feedback within one of the content streams, based on an identification of the request for feedback, processes the content streams to identify one or more gestures within at least one of the content streams, and based on a determination that a first gesture of the one or more gestures is relatively more prevalent across the content streams than one or more other gestures, initiates an action with respect to the communication session.
