Virtual participant interaction for hybrid event

Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for virtual participant interaction for a hybrid event. The program and method provide an interface for designing a hybrid event between in-person and virtual participants, the interface for setting first properties of a physical space device present in a physical space, and setting second properties of a virtual room for the virtual participants; receive an indication of first user input setting the first and second properties; and in association with conferencing, configure the physical space device based on the first properties, display the virtual room based on the second properties, the virtual room including a live video feed of the physical space, receive, from a virtual participant device, an indication of second user input for interacting with the physical space device, and provide for interaction the based on the second user input.
