One example method bridging video conference connections includes joining, using a client device, a video conference using a first network interface, the video conference including a plurality of participants; determining a need for a second network interface; connecting to the video conference using the second network interface simultaneously with the first network interface; assigning a first multimedia stream to the first network interface and a second multimedia stream to the second network interface; and using the first and second network interfaces to transmit or receive the first and second multimedia streams.

Bridging video conference connections

One example device for dynamic context-sensitive virtual backgrounds for video conferences includes a communications interface; a non-transitory computer-readable medium; and one or more processors configured to execute processor-executable instructions stored in the non-transitory computer-readable medium to join a video conference hosted by a video conference provider; select a virtual background from a plurality of virtual backgrounds based on a characteristic of the virtual background and at least one of a characteristic of the video conference or a characteristic of a user of the client device; receive, from a camera, a video stream, the video stream including video images of the user; generate a video feed comprising the video images of the user superimposed over the selected virtual background; and provide the video feed to the video conference provider.

Dynamic context-sensitive virtual backgrounds for video conferences

Systems and methods for providing multi-meeting modes for virtual meetings are provided. In aspects, a system including a non-transitory computer-readable medium, a communications interface, and a processor is provided. The processor may be configured to execute instructions to establish a first virtual meeting and establish a second virtual meeting. The second virtual meeting may run concurrent with the first virtual meeting. The instructions may further cause the processor to receive, from a first client device, a first request to join the first virtual meeting and a second request to join the second virtual meeting, and transmit to the first client device: a first set of multimedia streams and a second set of multimedia streams. The instructions may further cause the processor to determine a primary virtual meeting and modify one of the first set of multimedia streams or the second set of multimedia streams based on the primary virtual meeting.

Multi-meeting mode for virtual meetings

A request to connect a primary device of a conference participant to a conference is received. A request to connect a secondary device of the conference participant to the conference is received. Content is received from the secondary device for display in a companion tile associated with the primary device. The content is displayed in the companion tile. The content can include a video stream obtained using a camera of the secondary device. The content can include screen content of the secondary device. The content includes a first image and a second image.
