Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for dynamically assigning participant video feeds within a virtual conferencing system. The program and method provide, in association with designing a virtual space for virtual conferencing, an interface for configuring a set of rooms, each room being associated with a different number of participant video elements assignable to respective participant video feeds; receive, via the interface, an indication of user input for setting properties for the set of rooms; determine, in association with virtual conferencing, a first number of participants for a room; select a first room corresponding to the first number of participants; provide display of the first room; and assign, for each of the first number of participants, a participant video feed corresponding to the participant with a respective participant video element in the first room.

Dynamically assigning participant video feeds within virtual conferencing system

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for updating element properties based on distances between elements in a virtual conference. The program and method provide, in association with designing a room, an interface for specifying how a first element in the room affects at least one property value of a second element, based on distance between the two elements; receive user selection of parameter values specifying how the first element affects the at least one property value of the second element based on the distance; provide a virtual conference between plural participants within the room including the first and second elements; update the at least one property value of the second element based on a change in distance between the first and second elements, and on the parameter values; and provide for updated display of the second element.
