Implementations for metering media conferences based on active users are described. A plurality of media conferences are established by a media conferencing service. Unique users participating in the media conferences are determined. A number of times that each unique user uses the media conferencing service during a first time period is determined. A metric for use of the media conferencing service is determined based on the number of times that each unique user uses the media conferencing service. The metric for using the media conferencing service is output.

Metering interactive electronic activities

Implementations for combining at least two video streams received from devices of a plurality of participants of a video conference into a composite video stream are described. A video conference including the video streams received from the devices of the plurality of participants is established. A capability associated with consuming at least two of the video streams is received from at least one of the devices. The at least two video streams are then combined into a composite video stream based on the capability associated with consuming the at least two video streams. The composite video stream is transmitted to the at least one of the devices.
