Patent attributes
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media relate to a method for providing multi-point video presentations with live annotations within a communication platform. First, the system receives video feeds depicting imagery of a number of users. The system then determines a boundary about each user in the video feeds, with the boundaries each having an interior portion and an exterior portion. The system provides a media background for the exterior portions, then generates a composite video for each of the feeds. The system then determines that one or more client devices have annotation permissions, and receives one or more annotation inputs corresponding to at least one of the composite videos. Finally, the system updates at least one of the composite videos to additionally depict the annotation inputs within a third layer.
