1. A method comprising:
during a first time period:
distributing a first image feed of a first resolution to a second computing device associated with a second user and to a third computing device associated with a third user, the first image feed depicting a first user associated with a first computing device and captured by a first camera proximal the first user;
distributing a second image feed of the first resolution to the first computing device, the second image feed depicting the second user and captured by a second camera proximal the second user; and
distributing a third image feed of the first resolution to the first computing device, the third image feed depicting the third user and captured by a third camera proximal the third user; and
in response to activation of a communication channel between the first user and second user:
activating a fourth image feed of a second resolution greater than the first resolution, depicting the first user, and captured by a fourth camera proximal the first user;
distributing the fourth image feed to the second computing device;
activating a fifth image feed of the second resolution, depicting the second user, and captured by a fifth camera proximal the second user;
distributing the fifth image feed to the first computing device;
distributing the first image feed to the third computing device; and
distributing the third image feed to the first computing device.
