DYNAMIC LOW LIGHTING ADJUSTMENT WITHIN A VIDEO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Methods and systems provide for low lighting adjustments within a video communication session. First, the system receives video content within a video communication session of a video communication platform, the video content having multiple video frames. The system then receives or generates a lighting adjustment request including a lighting adjustment depth, then detects an amount of lighting in the video content. The system then modifies the video content to adjust the amount of lighting, wherein the amount of adjustment of lighting corresponds to the adjustment depth, and wherein adjusting the amount of lighting is performed in real time or substantially real time upon receiving the lighting adjustment request.
