Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media relate to a method for providing video communications with dynamic virtual backgrounds within a communication platform. The system establishes a connection with the calendar account of a user. The calendar account maintains historic and planned meeting details for the user. The system may evaluate the calendar account of the user and automatically generate use rules for virtual backgrounds to be used for planned meetings. Based on contextual information of a planned meeting, the system may apply one of the generated rules and select a virtual background to be used for video communications during the meeting.
