Controlling follower device video stream capture for video conferencing

Abstract

The capture of video streams using follower devices is controlled by a leader device during a video conference. Multiple cameras located at a physical space and connected to the leader device within the physical space are identified. The multiple cameras are designated as follower devices for the video conference, in which the follower device designation enables the leader device to control the follower devices during the video conference. Each of the cameras is caused to determine and capture a select video stream depicting one or more conference participants within the physical space. At least some of the select video streams are used to represent the physical space within the video conference. The leader device and the follower devices are collectively represented as a single logical entity to the video conference.
