Abstract

Systems and methods for dual-representation streaming frames include (1) determining that a new endpoint is attempting to join a real-time video session (e.g., by receiving a real-time video stream made up of a series of frames) and (2) adding the endpoint to the real-time video session by (i) transmitting, to the endpoint, an initial frame that takes the form of an independent frame and (ii) after transmitting the initial frame, transmitting a series of subsequent frames consisting of only dependent frames, such that the only independent frame transmitted to the endpoint while the endpoint maintains its connection to the real-time video session is the initial frame. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
