Abstract

A method for streaming playback within a live video conference. The method includes, a computer detecting access to a video conference using a live interface. The method includes, the computer receiving an indication of an interrupt condition. The method includes, the computer retrieving a selected content. The method includes, the computer inserting the selected content into the video conference, and the computer playing the selected content within the video conference.

Claims (58)

1. A method for streaming playback within a live video conference, the method comprising:

a computer detecting access to a video conference using a live interface;

the computer receiving an indication of an interrupt condition, wherein the indication of an interrupt condition is a circumstance indicating a live feed of the live video conference is to be interrupted;

the computer retrieving, in response to the indication of an interrupt condition, a selected content;

the computer inserting the selected content into the video conference;

the computer playing the selected content within the video conference;

the computer receiving an indication to end play of the selected content; and

the computer removing the selected content from the live video conference.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein an interrupt condition includes one or more of: a lighting adjustment, a detected motion, a detected sound, a disruption of a network connection, and a received key sequence.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the detected motion further comprises:

the computer detecting, based, at least in part, on using motion sensors, a user of the computer; and

the computer detecting another person in a frame of the computer.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selected content is a video clip.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the computer retrieving the selected content further comprises:

the computer detecting a camera connected to the computer is currently recording;

the computer receiving a recorded content from the camera; and

the computer storing the recorded content.

6. A computer program product for streaming playback within a live video conference, the computer program product comprising:

one or more computer-readable tangible storage device and program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable tangible storage device, the program instructions comprising:

program instructions to detect access to a video conference using a live interface;

program instructions to receive an indication of an interrupt condition, wherein the indication of an interrupt condition is a circumstance indicating a live feed of the live video conference is to be interrupted;

program instructions to retrieve, in response to the indication of an interrupt condition, a selected content;

program instructions to insert the selected content into the video conference;

program instructions to play the selected content within the video conference;

program instructions to receive an indication to end play of the selected content; and

program instructions to remove the selected content from the live video conference.

7. The computer program product of claim 6 , wherein an interrupt condition includes one or more of: a lighting adjustment, a detected motion, a detected sound, a disruption of a network connection, and a received key sequence.

8. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein the detected motion further comprises:

program instructions to detect, based, at least in part, on using motion sensors, a user of the computer; and

program instructions to detect another person in a frame of the computer.

9. The computer program product of claim 6 , wherein the selected content is a video clip.

10. The computer program product of claim 6 , wherein the program instructions to retrieve the selected content further comprise:

program instructions to detect a camera connected to the computer is currently recording;

program instructions to receive a recorded content from the camera; and

program instructions to store the recorded content.

11. A computer system for streaming playback within a live video conference, the computer system comprising:

one or more computer processors;

one or more computer-readable tangible storage media;

program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable tangible storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more computer processors, the program instructions comprising:

program instructions to detect access to a video conference using a live interface;

program instructions to receive an indication of an interrupt condition, wherein the indication of an interrupt condition is a circumstance indicating a live feed of the live video conference is to be interrupted;

program instructions to retrieve, in response to the indication of an interrupt condition, a selected content;

program instructions to insert the selected content into the video conference;

program instructions to play the selected content within the video conference;

program instructions to receive an indication to end play of the selected content; and

program instructions to remove the selected content from the live video conference.

12. The computer system of claim 11 , wherein an interrupt condition includes one or more of: a lighting adjustment, a detected motion, a detected sound, a disruption of a network connection, and a received key sequence.

13. The computer system of claim 12 , wherein the detected motion further comprises:

program instructions to detect, based, at least in part, on using motion sensors, a user of the computer; and

program instructions to detect another person in a frame of the computer.

14. The computer system of claim 11 , wherein the selected content is a video clip.

15. The computer system of claim 11 , wherein the program instructions to retrieve the selected content further comprise:

program instructions to detect a camera connected to the computer is currently recording;

program instructions to receive a recorded content from the camera; and

program instructions to store the recorded content.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the interrupt condition includes a toggle option, the toggle option allowing the user to toggle between playing the selected content in the live video conference and participating in the live video conference.

17. The computer program product of claim 6 , wherein the interrupt condition includes a toggle option, the toggle option allowing the user to toggle between playing the selected content in the live video conference and participating in the live video conference.

18. The computer system of claim 11 , wherein the interrupt condition includes a toggle option, the toggle option allowing the user to toggle between playing the selected content in the live video conference and participating in the live video conference.
