    Abstract: The present technology pertains to synchronized video viewing that is supported by the use of a pending changes count to keep the client devices in synchronization while providing a user experience that matches the expectations of the user. A second client device can receive input to change some aspect of the playback of a video that is being viewed synchronously with at least one other device. The second client device can process the event so the video can reflect the received input. The second client device can also send a collaboration message to a synchronized video viewing service to inform other client devices of the command. Since the second client device is aware of its own event, the second client device can ignore processing any other collaboration messages until it receives the collaboration message it initiated echoed back to it. Thereafter it can resume processing received collaboration messages.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for generating and providing an intelligent assistant interface that integrates with a large language model and a knowledge graph to adaptively change its appearance for presenting and interacting with different content items from various sources. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems provide an intelligent assistant interface that includes a set of interface elements selectable to interact with a large language model. Based on an input intent, the disclosed systems can utilize the large language model to analyze a knowledge graph for accessing and/or generating content items for display within the intelligent assistant interface.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for generating content clusters from topic data and focus data, generating content collections from content clusters, storing and restoring desktop scene layouts, and storing and arranging video call scenes. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems generate content clusters based on topic data and focus data associated with content items within a content management system and/or accessed via the internet. The disclosed systems can also generate content collections for a user account of the content management system from the content clusters. In some embodiments, the content scene system can further store and restore desktop scene layouts for arranging application windows presenting content items. Further, the disclosed systems can store and arrange particular desktop scene layouts for video call scenes.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for allowing remote participation in collaborative video review based on joint state data, for a video collaboration session, maintained by a video collaboration service. A user at a participant client device may provide one or more annotations, such as a drawing annotation, for the video data via a client application. The client application transmits computer-readable instructions for re-creating the drawing annotation to the service, which distributes the drawing instructions to the other participant client devices. Using the drawing instructions, the client applications at the client devices are configured to re-create the drawing annotation on the associated video frame displayed at the client devices. The joint state data communicated to client devices for a given session may include co-presence data that efficiently increases communication among the participants in a session. Co-presence data received by a participant client device may be depicted in a GUI of the client application.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for avoiding conflicting user actions while the users synchronously participate in collaborative video review based on joint state data for a video collaboration session. User actions may conflict, e.g., when a user submits a video playback instruction to change the current frame of the session while another user is performing a frame-specific action on the current frame. The video collaboration service freezes the current frame in joint state data based on detecting that a frame-specific action is being performed or is likely imminent. Detecting a freeze condition may be implicit or explicit. In order to unfreeze the current frame of the joint state data, no active freeze conditions may be in effect. Further, the freeze condition may be lifted implicitly or explicitly. A visual video freeze indication may be displayed by one or more client applications participating in the session while a freeze condition is active.
