1. A computer-implemented method for redacting information in a video stream, said method comprising:
accessing content of an original video stream;
classifying sensitive data within the original video stream as classified data components of one or more of multiple permission categories;
providing sub-streams of the classified data components for one or more permission categories, wherein providing sub-streams for one or more permission categories includes sub-streams of video data including the allowed data components for the one or more permission categories and location information of the allowed data components in the original video stream;
redacting the classified data components in the original video stream; and
combining the redacted video stream with one or more of the sub-streams to output a combined video stream depending on the access permissions of an endpoint.
