Abstract

A method is disclosed and in one embodiment includes presenting to a user a display layout associated with a video conferencing session, the display layout comprising a plurality of images of participants in the video conferencing session, wherein each of the participants is assigned to a layout category; accumulating gaze tracking information indicative of an amount of time the user has spent looking at the image of a first one of the participants relative to the images of other ones of the participants; assigning a measure of interest ('MOI') to the first one of the participants based on the accumulated gaze tracking information; determining whether the assigned MOI meets a first threshold value; if the assigned MOI meets the first threshold value, updating the layout category to which the first one of the participants is assigned; and updating the display layout using the updated layout category to which the first one of the participants is assigned.
