Abstract
Systems for customizing user interfaces displaying an image of multiple participants of a communication session are disclosed. A system allows a user to make one or more selections of attendees from a video stream that includes multiple attendees, such as video captured by a conference room camera. In response to the selection, the system generates new video streams or images for each of the selected attendee(s) by extracting images of the selected attendee(s) from the video stream of the conference room camera. The system displays additional renderings for the new video streams or images to accompany the rendering of the video stream of the conference room camera. By allowing users to generate additional renderings of people from images that are initially displayed in a group video, the system can allow viewers to control the display of details of each person that may not be observable from the initial group image.
