Abstract
Embodiment systems and methods for presenting a facial expression in a virtual meeting may include detecting a user facial expression of a user based on information received from a sensor of the computing device, determining whether the detected user facial expression is approved for presentation on an avatar in a virtual meeting, generating an avatar exhibiting a facial expression consistent with the detected user facial expression in response to determining that the detected user facial expression is approved for presentation on an avatar in the virtual meeting, generating an avatar exhibiting a facial expression that is approved for presentation in response to determining that the detected user facial expression is not approved for presentation on an avatar in the virtual meeting, and presenting the generated avatar in the virtual meeting.
