Abstract: The disclosed techniques improve user engagement and more efficient use of computing resources by providing dynamically controlled aspect ratios for communication session renderings based on a number of people depicted in shared video streams. A system can identify select streams depicting at least a threshold number of individuals. A first aspect ratio can be selected from a number of preset aspect ratios for the display of select streams depicting at least the threshold number of individuals. A second aspect ratio can be selected for the display of other individual streams having video components depicting less than the threshold number of individuals. In some embodiments, the first aspect ratio is greater than the second aspect ratio. By switching between aspect ratios depending on a number of individuals depicted in each video stream, a system can improve user engagement by equalizing the display each person participating in a communication session.

Abstract: A method and system for automatically joining a conference is disclosed, in which a user is offered an option for enabling the automatic connection to the conference at multiple instances prior to the scheduled meeting. The user can specify the time the connection should occur, and specify which conference events they would like to be automatically connected to. An auto-record feature can also be made available to permit users to specify conferences that should be recorded. A 'snooze' option can also be presented to the user to have the system reattempt the automatic connection at a later time.

Abstract: A calendar view is rendered on a user interface (UI). A scheduled meeting is rendered in a time slot of the calendar view, initially without an interactive control to join the scheduled meeting. In response to determining that a start time for the scheduled meeting is within a threshold time, the rendered scheduled meeting is updated to include an interactive control to join the scheduled meeting. The interactive control has a selectable region that is configured to indicate that the scheduled meeting is to be joined. In response to input data indicative of a selection of the interactive control, a collaboration application joins the scheduled meeting.

Abstract: A mobile device utilizes a two-stage dialing solution when roaming on a visited mobile operator (MO) network to implement centralized routing so that a home network portion of a hybrid network is inserted into the path of outbound calls. A remote centralized routing (CR) service interoperates with a CR client on the mobile device. When a call is initiated to a remote party, the CR client calls into an arbitrary roaming routing number that is terminated in the home network. Once the call is connected between the mobile device and home network, the CR client sends a dialing string that includes a destination number of the remote party. The CR service calls the destination number and then bridges the calls to the mobile device and remote party to establish an end-to-end call path between the local and far ends of the call that traverses the home network.

Abstract: The disclosed techniques improve user engagement and promote efficient use of computing resources by providing dynamically controlled aspect ratios for communication session renderings based on a physical orientation of a device. In some configurations, a system can select a first aspect ratio for individual video streams of a communication session when a device is in a first orientation, e.g., a portrait orientation. In addition, the system can select a second aspect ratio for the individual video streams when the device is in a second orientation, e.g., a landscape orientation. In some configurations, the first aspect ratio can be greater than the second aspect ratio, or the aspect ratios can be selected based on a target aspect ratio, which can be adjusted over time. By dynamically selecting an aspect ratio for individual stream renderings, screen space of a device can be optimized while the device is held in various physical orientations.

Abstract: Techniques for accessing and configuring meeting attributes are described. In at least some embodiments, a meeting object is leveraged to store meeting attributes and pointers to meeting-related content. A meeting object, for instance, can serve as a manifest for meeting attributes. According to various embodiments, different entities (e.g., applications, services, and so forth) can access a meeting object to ascertain and/or configure meeting attributes for a meeting. For instance, a meeting application programming interface (API) can be employed to enable different entities to interact with a meeting object in various ways.

Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein improve user engagement and more efficient use of computing resources by providing dynamically controlled view states for communication sessions based on a number of people depicted in shared video streams. In some configurations, a system can control the size and position of a video rendering based on the number of individuals depicted in a video stream. In some configurations, a stream depicting a threshold number of people can be rendered in the primary display area and other streams can be rendered in a secondary section. The primary area can be sized to scale a video depicting multiple people video to equalize the size of the people with renderings of single-person video streams. This helps a system provide a more granular level of control to equalize the representation of each person displayed within different video streams.
