Techniques are described for embedding a panoramic image in standard resolution. A panoramic image is received from a panoramic camera and a location of a speaker is determined, either automatically or manually. A portion of the panoramic image is cropped to isolate the speaker and the cropped portion of the image is enlarged to standard video resolution. The panoramic image is combined with the cropped portion and transmitted via a standard video streaming format. In at least one implementation, the panoramic image is normalized so that face sizes of persons in the image appear approximately equal regardless of the distance each person is situated relative to the camera.
