Abstract
A method and system is provided for dynamically switching between at least two cameras in communication with a master device during a conference, where the at least two cameras are static and are associated with a device operable by a user. First and second video input is received from a first and a second camera and is then analyzed to identify first and second directional parameters of a face of the user. An algorithm is executed on the first and the second directional parameters to identify a first and a second coverage percentage of the face of the user. In response to comparing the first and the second coverage percentage, if the first coverage percentage is greater than the second coverage percentage, the second video input is disabled and the first video input is used to capture the face of the user.
