Displaying time zone-specific content in video conferences
One example method includes initiating a video conference by a video conference provider, receiving, at the video conference provider, a plurality of video streams associated with the video conference, receiving, at the video conference provider, a plurality of time zone indications, each of the plurality of time zone indications associated with one of the plurality of video streams, determining, by the video conference provider, a time zone-specific content associated with each of the plurality of time zone indications, and transmitting the plurality of video streams and associated time zone-specific content to a plurality of client devices.
1. A method comprising:
initiating a video conference by a video conference provider;
receiving, at the video conference provider, a plurality of video streams associated with the video conference;
receiving, at the video conference provider, a plurality of time zone indications, each of the plurality of time zone indications associated with one of the plurality of video streams, wherein at least a first one of the time zone indications is associated with a mobile device and at least a second one of the time zone indications is a manually-entered from a user;
determining, by the video conference provider, a time zone-specific content associated with each of the plurality of time zone indications; and
transmitting the plurality of video streams and associated time zone-specific content to a plurality of client devices.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising causing a representation of the time zone-specific content associated with each of the plurality of video streams to be displayed in the video conference application executing on the client device.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of time zone indications comprises a time zone attribute set on the client device or in a video conference application executing on the client device.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the time zone attribute comprises at least one of a current time or a current time zone.
5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the time zone attribute comprises a location.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the time zone-specific content comprises a flag associated with the location.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of time zone indications comprises an internet protocol (IP) address and further comprising determining a time zone associated with the IP address.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the time zone-specific content comprises a numerical representation of the time zone.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the numerical representation of the time zone comprises the difference between a current time zone associated with the video stream and coordinated universal time (UTC).
10. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising processor-executable instructions configured to cause one or more processors to:
initiate a video conference by a video conference provider;
receive, at the video conference provider, a plurality of video streams associated with the video conference;
receive, at the video conference provider, a plurality of time zone indications, each of the plurality of time zone indications associated with one of the plurality of video streams, wherein at least a first one of the time zone indications is associated with a mobile device and at least a second one of the time zone indications is a manually-entered override from a user;
determine, by the video conference provider, a time zone-specific content associated with each of the plurality of time zone indications; and
transmit the plurality of video streams and associated time zone-specific content to a plurality of client devices.
11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the time zone-specific content comprises a representation of a clock.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the time zone-specific content comprises a suggested greeting.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the suggested greeting is associated with a language, the language associated with one of the plurality of video streams.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the time zone-specific content comprises an emoji.
15. A device comprising:
a communications interface;
a non-transitory computer-readable medium; and
one or more processors configured to execute processor-executable instructions stored in the non-transitory computer-readable medium to:
initiate a video conference by a video conference provider;
receive, at the video conference provider, a plurality of video streams associated with the video conference;
receive, at the video conference provider, a plurality of time zone indications, each of the plurality of time zone indications associated with one of the plurality of video streams, wherein at least a first one of the time zone indications is associated with a mobile device and at least a second one of the time zone indications is a manually-entered override by a user;
determine, by the video conference provider, a time zone-specific content associated with each of the plurality of time zone indications; and
transmit the plurality of video streams and associated time zone-specific content to a plurality of client devices.
16. The device of claim 15 , wherein the time zone-specific content comprises a background associated with each of the plurality of time zone indications.
17. The device of claim 16 , wherein the background indicates a brightness level associated with at least the time zone indication.
18. The device of claim 16 , wherein the background indicates a weather indication associated with at least the time zone indication.
19. The device of claim 16 , wherein the background overrides a default background associated with each of the plurality of video streams.
20. The device of claim 16 , wherein the background comprises one of a plurality of background images selected by a user of the video conferencing application.
