Abstract
A video conference endpoint includes one or more cameras to capture video of different views and a microphone array to sense audio. One or more preset views are defined. The endpoint detects faces in the captured video and active audio sources from the sensed audio. The endpoint detects any active talker detected faces that coincide positionally with detected active audio sources, and also detects whether any active talker is in one of the preset views. Based on whether an active talker is detected in any of the preset views, the endpoint switches between capturing video of one of the preset views, and capturing video of a dynamic view.
