In this paper, we evaluate a video communication system with coordination of the robot's behaviors and the video's control that compensates for user's uncongenial attitudes. The system enables comfortable video communications between elderly or disabled people by an assistant robot for each user that expresses a) active listening behaviors to compensate for the listener's attitude and b) a cover-up behavior to divert attention from the other user's uncongenial attitude when that person is not looking at the talking user but toward the robot at her/his side. These design is performed by coordinating the automatic camera-switching to give the impression that the congenial person is still looking at the user. The results in the system evaluation show the significant effectiveness of this design approach using the robot's behavior and media control to improve the user's impressions in video communication as we aimed.
