1. An electronic device comprising:
at least two image capturing devices, including a first image capturing device providing a first image stream and a second image capturing device providing a second image stream;
at least one network interface that communicatively connects the electronic device via a network to at least one second electronic device during a video communication session; and
a controller communicatively coupled to each of the at least two image capturing devices and the at least one network interface, and which:
during the video communication session with the at least one second electronic device, identifies a person in the first image stream and identifies a writing surface in the second image stream;
determines whether the person is attending to the writing surface;
in response to determining that the person is not attending to the writing surface, automatically selects and communicates, to at least a first particular second electronic device during the video communication session, at least a first portion of the first image stream that focusses on a face of the person; and
in response to determining that the person is attending to the writing surface, automatically selects and communicates, to at least the first particular second electronic device during the video communication session, at least a second portion of the second image stream that focusses on the writing surface.
