Abstract: A communication system receives a request to establish a call between the communication system and a remote client device. The communication system sends a command to a television connected to the communication system that instructs the television to turn on and set its input source. The communication system requests a state of the television from the television. In response to receiving a response from the television indicating that the television configured for video output from the communication system, the communication system outputs video and audio received from the remote client device to the television, activates a camera of the communication system, and transmits video and audio from the communication system to the remote client device.

Abstract: A communication system enables users to select between individuals for tracking during video calls based on remote control input. The communication system establishes a video call session between a local client device and one or more remote client devices. The communication system uses a facial recognition algorithm to detect one or more faces from video data and obtains an identifier to each face. The communication system selects a first identifier. The communication system receives a navigation input from a remote control coupled to the communication system and, based on the input, selects a second identifier. The communication system receives an operation input and applies a center of focus of the video data to a second face corresponding to the second identifier.

Abstract: A communication server facilitates a video call between client devices of a plurality of participants. During the video call, the communication server identifies an in-call activity to recommend to the plurality of participants in the video call based on user information. The in-call activity is selected to be relevant to each of the plurality of participants and jointly recommended to the plurality of participants of the video call. To identify the recommended in-call activity, the communication server may determine common interests among the plurality of participants and select an in-call activity that is associated with the common interests. After the recommended in-call activity is selected, an indication of the recommended in-call activity is provided to the client devices to enable the client devices to display a user interface including the in-call activity to the participants during the video call.
