Abstract
A system and method is disclosed for extracting a user persona from a video and embedding that persona into a background feed that may have other content, such as text, graphics, or additional video content. The extracted video and background feed are combined to create a composite video that comprises the display in a videoconference. Embodiments cause the user persona to be embedded at preset positions, or in preset formats, or both, depending on the configuration, position, or motion of the user's body.
