Abstract
Proposed herein is a technique to reduce the time to obtain an I-frame for video conferencing participants that are unable to decode video stream(s) of the main active speaker(s) by decoding video stream(s) of the main active speaker(s) at a Selective Forwarding Unit (SFU) and re-encoding the video stream(s) using only I-frames. The technique also provides for the ability reduce network traffic by unicasting the I-frames only to participants that may need the I-frames, rather than broadcasting the I-frames to all participants.
