Patent attributes
Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for configurable group-based media stream transmission allow media configurations to define how media (e.g., video data, audio data) is transmitted among different participant groups for an online communication session. In some embodiments, meeting participants may be assigned into either a presenter group or an audience group. The online communication session 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.
