In one embodiment, a video conference endpoint may detect a one or more participants within a field of view of a camera of the video conference endpoint. The video conference endpoint may determine one or more alternative framings of an output of the camera of the video conference endpoint based on the detected one or more participants. The video conference endpoint may send the output of the camera of the video conference endpoint to one or more far-end video conference endpoints participating in a video conference with the video conference endpoint. The video conference endpoint may send data descriptive of the one or more alternative framings of the output of the camera to the far-end video conference endpoints. The far-end video conference endpoints may utilize the data to display one of the one or more alternative framings.
