Abstract
Embodiments herein generally relate to video conferencing systems and, more particularly, to multi-camera systems used to detect participants in a conference environment and auto frame a video stream of a priority group from the detected participants. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes determining a plurality of subjects within a first view of a conference environment and altering a second view of the conference environment after determining that at least a portion of one or more of the plurality of subjects cannot fit in the second view when the second view is adjusted to include the other ones of the plurality of subjects. Here, each of the plurality of subjects includes a region-of-interest corresponding to a portion of an individual conference participant. Altering the second view includes determining a priority subject group and adjusting the second view to include the priority subject group. In some embodiments, the priority subject group includes two or more subjects of the plurality of subjects.
