Abstract
A method for detecting the presence of a virtual meeting participant includes obtaining a first frame of a video stream generated by a camera of a client device of a participant of a virtual meeting. The method includes generating a depth map of the first frame. The method includes, for each of one or more second frames of the video stream, generating a point cloud of an image of the participant located in a respective second frame, and determining whether the participant is in front of the camera based on an overlap between a selected zone of the depth map and the point cloud of the image of the participant located in the respective second frame. Responsive to the determining the participant is not in front of the camera, the method includes muting the participant's audio and deactivating the participant's video stream.
