Abstract
One or more streams from a number of real-time video streams available to be transmitted across a communications network, are selected for display on respective terminals of a first, and at least one other user. First, a policy of the first user for making the selection, is determined, the policy containing conditions to be evaluated, selectable by the first user. Then, which streams to select for the first user is determined dynamically by evaluating the current conditions according to the first user's policy. Only the selected streams are passed for display on the terminal of the first user, independently of selections made for passing to the other users. Dynamic selection from multiple streams enables the user to concentrate on the content not the form of presentation. Individual control of what is displayed, independent of what other users see, enables tailoring to video conferences to be handled more easily.
