Systems and methods to selectively combine video streams
Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media are configured to determine that a first peer involved in a video communication is a primary peer based on satisfaction of a threshold. It is determined that a second peer involved in the video communication is a secondary peer based on non-satisfaction of the threshold. It is determined that a modified video stream of the second peer is to be superimposed onto a video stream of the first peer to create a composite video.
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
determining, by a computing system, that a first peer involved in a video conference is a primary peer, wherein the first peer is associated with a plurality of users;
determining, by the computing system, that a second peer involved in the video conference is a secondary peer, wherein the second peer is associated with a single user;
determining, by the computing system, affinity between the single user of the second peer and each user of the plurality of users of the first peer; and
superimposing, by the computing system, a modified video stream of the second peer onto a video stream of the first peer at a location adjacent to a user of the plurality of users having a greatest affinity with the single user of the second peer to create a composite video for the video conference.
2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
detecting a static area in the video stream of the first peer; and
superimposing the modified video stream of the second peer onto the static area in the video stream of the first peer.

determining that the static area fails to satisfy a materiality threshold.
4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining a location associated with the first peer;
determining a location associated with the single user; and
superimposing the modified video stream of the second peer onto the video stream of the first peer based on a determination that a difference in location between the first peer and the single user satisfies a distance threshold.
5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining that a third peer involved in the video conference is a primary peer based on a satisfaction of a threshold; and
positioning the video stream of the first peer adjacent to a video stream of the third peer in the composite video.
6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , the method further comprising:
determining that a third peer involved in the video conference is a secondary peer based on a non-satisfaction of a threshold; and
superimposing the modified video stream of the second peer and a video stream of the third peer onto the video stream of the first peer.
7. A system comprising:
at least one processor; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform:
determining that a first peer involved in a video conference is a primary peer, wherein the first peer is associated with a plurality of users;
determining that a second peer involved in the video conference is a secondary peer, wherein the second peer is associated with a single user;
determining affinity between the single user of the second peer and each user of the plurality of users of the first peer; and
superimposing, a modified video stream of the second peer onto a video stream of the first peer at a location adjacent to a user of the plurality of users having a greatest affinity with the single user of the second peer to create a composite video for the video conference.
8. The system of claim 7 , further comprising:
detecting a static area in the video stream of the first peer; and
superimposing the modified video stream of the second peer onto the static area in the video stream of the first peer.
9. The system of claim 8 , further comprising:
determining that the static area fails to satisfy a materiality threshold.
10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:
determining that a first peer involved in a video conference is a primary peer, wherein the first peer is associated with the plurality of users;
determining that a second peer involved in the video conference is a secondary peer, wherein the second peer is associated with a single user;
determining affinity between the single user of the second peer and each user of the plurality of users of the first peer; and
superimposing, a modified video stream of the second peer onto a video stream of the first peer at a location adjacent to a user of the plurality of the users having a greatest affinity with the single user of the second peer to create a composite video or the video conference.
11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the first peer is associated with a plurality of users and the second peer is associated with a single user.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , further comprising:
determining that the static area fails to satisfy a materiality threshold.
13. The system of claim 7 , further comprising:
determining a location associated with the first peer; determining a location associated with the single user; and superimposing the modified video stream of the second peer onto the video stream of the first peer based on a determination that a difference in location between the first peer and the single user satisfies a distance threshold.
14. The system of claim 7 , further comprising:
determining that a third peer involved in the video conference is a primary peer based on a satisfaction of a threshold; and positioning the video stream of the first peer adjacent to a video stream of the third peer in the composite video.
15. The system of claim 11 , further comprising:
determining that a third peer involved in the video conference is a secondary peer based on a non-satisfaction of a threshold; and superimposing the modified video stream of the second peer and a video stream of the third peer onto the video stream of the first peer.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , further comprising:
determining a location associated with the first peer; determining a location associated with the single user; and superimposing the modified video stream of the second peer onto the video stream of the first peer based on a determination that a difference in location between the first peer and the single user satisfies a distance threshold.
