Abstract: The present disclosure, in some implementations comprises systems and methods for providing applications during video communication, via online communities or services, for example, social networks. Video communication may be video conferencing or “video chat” sessions among a plurality of users of the online services. Users may engage in a video conference or “video chat,” yet at the same time, use or obtain different applications, designated as either “personal” or “shared” applications. A “personal” application is one that does not involve others and is configured to enhance an individual user's personal experience during a group video communication. A “shared” application is one that involves at least one of multiple users during a group video communication, for example, users may participate in a card or trivia game, watch videos together, collaborate and share documents, or the like.

Abstract translation: 在一些实施方式中，本公开包括用于通过在线社区或服务（例如，社交网络）在视频通信期间提供应用的系统和方法。 视频通信可以是在线服务的多个用户之间的视频会议或“视频聊天”会话。 用户可以参与视频会议或“视频聊天”，但同时使用或获取指定为“个人”或“共享”应用程序的不同应用程序。 “个人”应用程序是不涉及其他应用程序的，并且被配置为在群组视频通信期间增强个人用户的个人体验。 “共享”应用是在组视频通信期间涉及多个用户中的至少一个的应用，例如，用户可以参与卡或琐事游戏，一起观看视频，协作和共享文档等。

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide techniques that enable a communication server hosting a virtual communication session to receive theme parameters from a remote server to control the look and feel of the virtual communication session. In one example, a method includes sending a plurality of video feeds for display at a plurality of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) of client devices coupled to a communication session. The communication session enables communication among a plurality of users of the client devices. The method also includes receiving a set of parameters of a theme to modify one or more visual properties of the GUIs. The method also includes sending the set of parameters to the client devices connected to the communication session to modify visual properties of the GUIs displaying the plurality of video feeds at the plurality of client devices based on the parameters of the theme.

Abstract translation: 本公开的方面提供使得托管虚拟通信会话的通信服务器能够从远程服务器接收主题参数以控制虚拟通信会话的外观的技术。 在一个示例中，一种方法包括发送多个视频馈送以在耦合到通信会话的客户端设备的多个图形用户界面（GUI）上显示。 通信会话使得客户端设备的多个用户之间能够进行通信。 该方法还包括接收主题的一组参数以修改GUI的一个或多个视觉属性。 该方法还包括将参数集合发送到连接到通信会话的客户端设备，以基于主题的参数修改在多个客户端设备处显示多个视频馈送的GUI的视觉属性。
