1. A method comprising:
monitoring, by a video conference management system, an encoded video stream corresponding to an original real-time video stream of a video conference meeting;
determining, by the video conference management system, context data associated with one or more encoded video frames of the encoded video stream, the context data including at least one of an encoder metric or a content attribute that indicates an encoding complexity level of the original real-time video stream, wherein:
the one or more encoded video frames includes a first encoded video frame at a first timestamp and a second encoded video frame at a second timestamp subsequent to the first timestamp; and
the encoder metric is computed using a first weight value associated with the first encoded video frame and a second weight value associated with the second encoded video frame, the second weight value being higher than the first weight value; and
adjusting, by the video conference management system, one or more encoded video streams corresponding to the original real-time video stream based on the context data.
