Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
obtaining video data from a local camera device connected to a user device, the video data comprising a view of a user of the user device associated with a video conferencing application executed on a virtual machine and provided to the user device via a virtual computing environment;
modifying the video data to generate modified video data by modifying pixels that define a permitter of the video data such that the modified pixels uniquely identify pixels contained in the video data;
transmitting the modified video data to the virtual machine to cause the virtual machine to inject the modified video data into the video conferencing application to generate a video conferencing application image;
receiving, by the user device, the video conferencing application image;
identifying the modified video data in the video conferencing application image based on detecting the modifying pixels that define the permitter of the video data;
replacing the modified video data in the video conferencing application image with second video data obtained from the local camera device to produce a modified video conferencing application image, wherein the second video data is obtained from the local camera device after the first video data was obtained from the local camera device such that the second video data is associated with less delay than the first video data; and
rendering the modified video conferencing image in the virtual computing environment displayed on the user device, wherein the virtual computing environment is provided by the virtual machine and is distinct from a computing environment of the user device.
