Abstract
Methods of providing in-game virtual split screens with peer-to-peer video conferencing are described for use in online gaming, for instance. In one approach, a live video stream, a live audio stream, and a player viewpoint are sent from a first computer system for receipt by a second computer system. The first and second computer systems concurrently execute the online game. The live video stream, the in-game video stream, and locally rendered in-game content are combined to create a composite video stream, and the live audio stream, the in-game audio stream, and locally generated in-game audio are combined to create a composite audio stream. The composite video stream and the composite audio stream are operable to be presented at the second computer system in real-time.
