A user interface for a video conference session includes selection options for selecting one or more sharing modes, at least some of the selection options presented in a hierarchical fashion on the user interface. The sharing modes may include a screen sharing mode, an application sharing mode and a window sharing mode.

User interface with a hierarchical presentation of selection options for selecting a sharing mode of a video conference

Continuous group presence is managed during a video conference by, for example, connecting a first video conferencing endpoint to a video conference session having at least one secondary video conferencing endpoint, receiving a trigger condition at the first video conference endpoint, determining if the trigger condition exceeds a predetermined threshold, and transmitting through the video conference session, a trigger notification, wherein the trigger notification enables an audio connection from the first conferencing endpoint to at least one secondary video conferencing endpoint.

Methods and systems for management of continuous group presence using video conferencing

User interfaces are displayed for providing accessory selection options for video conferencing endpoint devices of a video conferencing endpoint. A determination of available input and output accessories for the endpoint is made and the options are presented simultaneously with one another via one or more of the user interfaces. Each respective accessory, along with informative metadata and performance indicators, is displayed for selection by a user for use with the endpoint.

Selecting and managing devices to use for video conferencing

Embodiments are described for a user interface presenting audio and/or video streams. In some embodiments, a request to increase a size of a first user interface element from a plurality of user interface elements displayed within a user interface on a display is received from a video conference participant's device, at least one numerical representation for dimensions of the user interface display area for each of a plurality of potential layouts for at least a portion of the plurality of user interface elements is calculated to satisfy the request, a video conference system determines a new layout from the one or more potential layouts to accommodate the request by performing at least one comparison between a numerical representation for a potential layout and each remaining numerical representation for a potential layout from the plurality, the new layout comprising at least one of a video quality adjustment of one or more user interface elements, a rearrangement of one or more user interface elements into different sizes and positions, and an elimination of a user interface element from the user interface, and a media server for the video conference apportions bandwidth for one or more video data streams from the composite in accordance with the new layout to be received by the video conference participant's device.

User interfaces for presentation of audio/video streams

Described herein are methods and systems for joining a video conference endpoint to a video conference. A user may use a mobile device to take a picture of a Quick Response (QR) code or may place the mobile device in close proximity to a Near Field Communication (NFC) tag. Such QR code or NFC tag may be associated with a video conference endpoint. The user may then transmit the information encoded by the QR code or NFC tag, along with a meeting identifier, to a server. The server, in turn, may instruct a video conference endpoint identified by the QR code or NFC tag to join a video conference identified by the meeting identifier.
