Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes accessing real-time content captured by a first user's client device, where the real-time content is captured at a first high quality and is one of a plurality of content frames in a real-time stream of content. The method includes downgrading the quality of the real-time content to a second lower quality for transmission to a second user and transmitting the downgraded content to the second user. The method includes determining, based on a request made by the second user, an area of interest of a subsequent real-time image, where the subsequent real-time image is at the first high quality, modifying the subsequent real-time image to focus on the area of interest, where the modified subsequent real-time image is at the first high quality, and downgrading and transmitting the modified subsequent real-time image for to the second user.
