Abstract: Methods and systems for integrated communications are pro-vided. In one embodiment, a user input is received via a user interface. Media data is received in response to receiving the user input. The media data is streamed to one or more communication system users. In some embodiments, the media data is posted to a shared virtual space associated with a communication system channel. Other methods and systems are described.

Abstract: Determining user use context for electronic messaging and disseminating a subset of the user use context to recipients and/or senders of such electronic message is disclosed herein. By way of example, the user use context can be based on a general context of recipients, such as speed with which a message is disseminated or consumed, number of child messages spawned, rate at which such messages are spawned, and so on. Additionally, user use context can also be based on individual context, by comparing individual interaction to a message (e.g., time to read, time to delete, number of child messages, etc.), with a baseline usage context determined for the individual. The context can be disseminated to recipients of the message or to the sender, to provide an overview of perception of the electronic message.

Abstract translation: 本文公开了确定电子消息的用户使用上下文并将用户使用上下文的子集传播给这种电子消息的接收者和/或发送者。 作为示例，用户使用上下文可以基于接收者的一般上下文，例如消息传播或消费的速度，产生的子消息的数量，产生这样的消息的速率等等。 此外，用户使用上下文还可以基于个体上下文，通过将个体交互与消息（例如，读取时间，删除时间，子消息的数量等）进行比较，以及为个体确定的基线使用上下文。 上下文可以传播给消息的接收者或发送者，以提供对电子消息的感知的概述。

Abstract: According to a disclosed example, a first video stream is captured via a first camera associated with a first communication device engaged in a multi-party video conference. The first video stream includes a plurality of two-dimensional image frames. A subset of pixels corresponding to a first human subject is identified within each image frame of the first video stream. A second video stream is captured via a second camera associated with a second communication device engaged in the multi-party video conference. A composite video stream formed by at least a portion of the second video stream and the subset of pixels of the first video stream is rendered, and the composite video stream is output for display at one or more of the first and/or second communication devices. The composite video stream may provide the appearance of remotely located participants being physically present within the same visual scene.
