Abstract
A computer receives an image access preference that is associated with a user included in a first game session. The computer receives an image from a camera, connected to the computer, through a network. The computer analyzes the first image to identify the presence of the user. The computer generates and compares a first analysis result a to a set of stored data to determine, based on the comparison, if the user is present. Responsive to determining that the user is present, the computer applies the received access preferences, associated with the present user, to the first image.
