==Original Abstract Submitted==

Respective video streams of participants of a video conference are received. A first video stream of the respective video streams is determined to be unstitchable into a unified stream of the video conference. A request for a stitching image is transmitted to a participant of the participants corresponding to the first video stream. The stitching image is received from the participant. The first video stream is stitched into the unified stream by stitching the first video stream with at least one other video stream of the respective video streams. The unified stream is transmitted for display at a device connected to the video conference.
