Abstract
According to embodiments of the present invention, sound localization is used to determine the active speaker in a video conference. A network element uses the localization to determine which regions of the image that should be preserved and retargets the video accordingly. By providing a retargeted video where the speaker is more visible, a better user experience is achieved.
