Abstract
A method, computer system, and computer program product for adding individual to a video conference. The method may include capturing a first video stream of a user from a first camera of a device and providing the first video to a device of at least one video conference participant other than the user. The method may include capturing and analyzing second video stream from second camera to detect whether an individual appears in the second video stream. In response to detecting an individual in the second video stream, the method may include determining an identity for the individual and prompting the user to confirm adding the individual to the video conference. In response to receiving the confirmation from the user to add the individual to the video conference, the method may include adding the second video stream to the video conference, thereby adding the individual to the video conference.
