Abstract
The disclosed techniques optimize the use of computing resources and user engagement by controlling a user interface that displays renderings of meeting participants concurrently with two presentation areas. The participants can include one group of users or multiple groups of users. The two presentation areas are each reserved for content that can be controlled by different users or a single user. In some embodiments, a system can allow users to control the content, e.g., change the content, change a display of a particular page, etc. In some embodiments, individual groups of users can each control specific content in a respective display area. By displaying at least two display areas that each can be independently controlled by one person or multiple people, a system can improve user engagement and improved efficiencies with respect to computing resources.
