Meeting participant display configuration
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media related to display configuration for a communications session. The system assigns a display location for each of multiple meeting participants. A meeting participant is associated with an unique identifier of the meeting participant. A user interface configured to display meeting participants at display locations is displayed. After a particular meeting participant has joined a first video conferencing session, the user interface display the particular meeting participant at their assigned display location.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
after the particular meeting participant has joined a second video conferencing session of the series of video conferencing sessions, providing for display the particular meeting participant at their assigned display location.
8. A non-transitory computer readable medium that stores executable program instructions that when executed by one or more computing devices configure the one or more computing devices to perform operations comprising:
assigning a display location for each of multiple meeting participants for a series of video conferencing sessions, the display location being associated with an identifier of a meeting participant and being fixed for the series of video conferencing sessions;
providing for display a user interface configured to display meeting participants at display locations; and
after a particular meeting participant has joined a first video conferencing session of the series of video conferencing sessions, providing for display the particular meeting participant at their assigned display location.
9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , further comprising:
recording meeting attendance for each of the multiple meeting participants; and
displaying, via the user interface, meeting attendance information for the respective multiple meeting participants about the assigned display location.
10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , the assigning a display location further comprising:
automatically assigning the display location to a meeting participant based on a sequence of when the meeting participant joins the first video conferencing session.
11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , the assigning a display location further comprising:
receiving an electronic listing of meeting participants with an associated display location; and
automatically assigning each display location to each meeting participant based on the received electronic listing.
12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , the assigning a display location further comprising:
receiving, via the user interface, concerning the display location, information describing a unique identifier for a meeting participant, wherein the unique identifier associates the meeting participant to the display location.
13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , further comprising the operations of:
assigning a first set of multiple meeting participants to a first group;
assigning a second set of multiple meeting participants to a second group;
receiving an input via the user interface;
in response to receiving the input:
causing each of the multiple meeting participants of the first group to enter a video conferencing mode with other meeting participants of the first group; and
causing each of the multiple meeting participants of the second group to enter a video conferencing mode with other meeting participants of the second group.
14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , further comprising the operations of:
after the particular meeting participant has joined a second video conferencing session of the series of video conferencing sessions, providing for display the particular meeting participant at their assigned display location.
15. A system comprising one or more processors configured to perform operations of:
assigning a display location for each of multiple meeting participants for a series of video conferencing sessions, the display location being associated with an identifier of a meeting participant and being fixed for the series of video conferencing sessions;
providing for display a user interface configured to display meeting participants at display locations; and
after a particular meeting participant has joined a first video conferencing session of the series of video conferencing sessions, providing for display the particular meeting participant at their assigned display location.
16. The system of claim 15 , further comprising the operations of:
recording meeting attendance for each of the multiple meeting participants; and
displaying, via the user interface, meeting attendance information for the respective multiple meeting participants concerning the assigned display location.
17. The system of claim 15 , the assigning a display location further comprising:
automatically assigning the display location to a meeting participant based on a sequence of when the meeting participant joins the first video conferencing session.
18. The system of claim 15 , the assigning a display location further comprising:
receiving an electronic listing of meeting participants with an associated display location; and
automatically assigning the display location to a meeting participant based on the received electronic listing.
19. The system of claim 15 , the assigning a display location further comprising:
receiving, via the user interface, concerning the display location, information describing a unique identifier for a meeting participant, wherein the unique identifier associates the meeting participant to the display location.
20. The system of claim 15 , further comprising the operations of:
assigning a first set of multiple meeting participants to a first group;
assigning a second set of multiple meeting participants to a second group;
