Abstract
Systems and methods for providing dynamic layouts for video conferencing participants are disclosed. In a computer-implemented method, a video conference provider may determine a first layout of a plurality of participants of a video conference and output it to the client device. The video conference provider may receive a first signal from a first participant. The video conference provider can determine, for a subset of the plurality of participants, one or more participation metrics, in which at least one participation metric for the first participant is based on the first signal. Responsive to comparing the participation metrics for the subset of the plurality of participants, the video conference provider may determine a second layout of the plurality of participants, in which the subset of the plurality of participants are arranged based on the one or more participation metrics and output, to the client device, the second layout.
