1. An electronic device comprising:
at least one image capturing device (ICD) that captures video and images from a field of view (FOV) of the at least one image capturing device;
a communication subsystem that enables the electronic device to communicatively connect to at least one other second electronic device via a video communication session;
a memory having stored thereon a video communication application and a freeze frame video (FFV) module with program code for selectively presenting a freeze frame video based on detected participant and device contexts; and
at least one processor communicatively coupled to the at least one ICD, the communication subsystem, and to the memory, the at least one processor processes program instructions of the video communication application and the FFV module, which configures the electronic device to:
determine that a local participant is connected via the electronic device to an ongoing video communication session with second participants having corresponding second participant devices;
capture, via the at least one ICD, local video encompassing the FOV;
determine a video segment of the local video to identify as a freeze frame video; and
present the freeze frame video to the video communication session in response to a trigger condition that pauses a presentation of live video feed of the local participant to the video communication session.
