Abstract
Method and apparatus for monitoring instant messaging with visual identification are described. In some examples, monitoring of instant message (IM) traffic at a node on a network is performed. Video content in the IM traffic is detected at the node. A facial recognition analysis is performed on the video content to extract at least one image having human facial features. At least one user identity is extracted from the IM traffic. The at least one image and the at least one user identity are stored in a log implemented in a memory on the network.
