Abstract

See full text

Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for configurable group-based media streams during communication session. Group-based media streams allow a meeting administrator to define how media (e.g., video data, audio data) is shared among meeting participants by assigning the meeting participants to different participant groups. In some embodiments, meeting participants may be assigned into either a presenter group or an audience group. The meeting may be configured such that both video and audio data captured at the device of a presenter is shared with both the other presenters and the audience, while audio and/or video data captured at the devices of the audience is shared with only the presenters, but not the other members of the audience. As a result, the audience members are able to communicate with the presenters during the presentation but cannot communicate with the other members of the audience.
