Techniques for gaze-based video conference prompts are described that leverage eye-tracking algorithms within a video conference setting to perform a variety of functionality. For instance, a computing device displays a user interface of a video conference session that includes representations of video conference attendees. The computing device receives video content that depicts a user of the computing device and uses eye tracking techniques to determine a gaze location of the user based on the video content. The gaze location corresponds to one of the representations of an attendee. The computing device then communicates a prompt to one or more of the attendees that indicates the gaze location. In another example, the computing device detects a behavior of the user, e.g., a scanning behavior. Responsive to detection of the behavior, the computing device performs an action within the user interface, such as to display a roster view of the attendees.

An electronic device, method, and computer program product enable screen capture and playback of an extendable display provided by a flexible display coupled across a front side of a flexible display support structure that moves relative to a first housing. A remaining portion of the flexible display either scrolls up or rolls onto a backside of the base housing. A controller of the electronic device determines dimensions of a front display based on data from a position sensor. The controller presents visual content on the flexible display. In response to a trigger to screen record the visual content, the controller records in media file(s) frame(s) of the front display along with position data of the flexible display support structure. For playback, the controller activates the translation mechanism to match the position data and presents the frame(s) on corresponding portions of the flexible display from which the frame(s) was captured.
