A communication system enables users to select between individuals for tracking during video calls based on remote control input. The communication system establishes a video call session between a local client device and one or more remote client devices. The communication system uses a facial recognition algorithm to detect one or more faces from video data and obtains an identifier to each face. The communication system selects a first identifier. The communication system receives a navigation input from a remote control coupled to the communication system and, based on the input, selects a second identifier. The communication system receives an operation input and applies a center of focus of the video data to a second face corresponding to the second identifier.
