Claim 17:
18. One or more non-transitory computer readable media that collectively store instructions that, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform operations, the operations comprising:
obtaining data associated with a video stream associated with a user of a videoconferencing system;
detecting a semantic status of the user within the video stream, wherein the semantic status describes a meaning of an activity of the user relative to a videoconference;
determining an activity status of the user;
generating a generalized video representation of the user based on the semantic status of the user, wherein the generalized video representation depicts a generalized representation of the semantic status of the user, and wherein generating the generalized video representation comprises:
determining one or more image elements indicative of the semantic status of the user; and
generating the generalized video representation based on the semantic status of the user, wherein the generalized video representation comprises a generalized representation of each of the one or more image elements;

adjusting a level of filtering of the generalized video representation of the user based on the activity status of the user; and
transmitting data descriptive of the generalized video representation to one or more additional computing devices for presentation within the videoconference.
