Abstract
Managing a video conference includes connecting participants of the videoconference to at least one video conferencing server that sends and receives video streams between the participants, detecting non-verbal cues of the participants, using the non-verbal cues to track reactions of the participants to segments of a presentation provided by a speaker and to interactions among participants, determining a health index of the video conference based on the reactions of the participants, and providing to at least a subset of the participants recommendations based on the health index for modifying the video conference. The non-verbal cues may include facial expressions, body language, gestures, postures, and/or eye contact. The interactions among participants may include discussions, agreement, disagreement, interruption, and/or eye-rolling. The recommendations may include asking a participant to provide an opinion on a subject matter being discussed in the video conference. The participant may be an expert.
