Abstract: A system is provided herein that can correlate service issues with system telemetry associated with the software session associated with those service issues. Using a statistical approach, the system can evaluate data across numerous software sessions to rank the importance of the reported service issues. To accomplish the ranking, the system can parse the reports of service issues on a periodic basis, can extract telemetry identifiers (IDs) from the logs, can query the telemetry, may compute the relative importance of detected issues (in the context of calls going on for that day), and then can report this impact back to the service issue database.

Abstract: Computer-aided identification of a potential problem node in a network. As part of data collection, a computing system gathers telemetric and trace route data for communications that occur within a network. Upon detecting that a performance problem has occurred within the network, multiple communications that occurred around the time of the performance problem are identified. Then, the trace route data for these multiple communications are aggregated. The aggregated data may then be used to identify a potential problem network node within the network. The identity of the potential problem network node (and potentially observed telemetry for that network node) may then be communicated to an entity that is affected by the performance problem. This may allow the entity to understand which network node is causing the problem and thus take appropriate remedial measures.

Abstract: A privacy image generation system may use a light field camera that includes an array of cameras or an RGBZ camera(s)) is used to capture images and display images according to a selected privacy mode. The privacy mode may include a blur background mode that can be automatically selected based on the meeting type, participants, location, and device type. A region of interest and/or an object(s) of interest (e.g. one or more persons in a foreground) is determined and the privacy image generation system is configured to clearly show the region/object of interest and obscure or replace the background by combining multiple images. The displayed image includes the region/object(s) of interest clearly shown (e.g. in focus) and any objects in a background of the combined image shown having a limited depth of field (e.g. blurry/not in focus) and/or blurred due to the combination of the multiple images.

Abstract: Various examples related to determining a location of an active participant are provided. In one example, image data of a room from an image capture device is received. First audio data from a first microphone array at the image capture device is received. Second audio data from a second microphone array spaced from the image capture device is received. Using a three dimensional model, a location of the second microphone array is determined. Using the first audio data, second audio data, location of the second microphone array, and an angular orientation of the second microphone array, an estimated location of the active participant is determined.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems, methods, and software for facilitating a video environment. In at least one implementation, video of at least a first object to be displayed in the video environment is received. Video of at least a second object is also received which is to be displayed with the first object in the video environment. A zoom operation is identified to be performed on the first object to reduce a difference between a size of the first object and a size of the second object. The zoom operation is then performed on the video of the first object. In response to the zoom operation, the first object and the second object are displayed in the video environment.
