Abstract: Various embodiments of methods, systems, and computer programs are disclosed for providing advertisements in a conference user interface. One embodiment is a method comprising: a conferencing system establishing a conference between a plurality of participants via a corresponding computing device connected to the conferencing system via a communication network; presenting a conference user interface to the computing devices, the conference user interface displaying each of the participants as a unique participant object in a virtual location; an online advertising platform selecting advertisement data from one or more advertisers; providing the selected advertisement data to the conferencing system; and displaying the advertisement data with an associated advertisement object in the virtual location during the conference.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems, methods, and computer programs are disclosed for providing simultaneous online conferences via a conference user interface. One embodiment is a method comprising: a conferencing system establishing a first online conference with a first set of participants and a second online conference with a second set of participants, the first and second sets of participants having a common participant simultaneously participating in both; the conferencing system simultaneously presenting to a client device associated with the common participant a first conference user interface and a second conference user interface, the first conference user interface for providing the first online conference and the second conference user interface for providing the second online conference; and the conferencing system enabling the common participant to selectively designate one of the first and second conference user interfaces as a primary display and the other as a secondary display.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems, methods, and computer programs are disclosed for simultaneously providing multiple online conferences via a conference user interface. One embodiment is a computer program embodied in a computer readable medium and executable by a processor for enabling simultaneous participation in at least two online conferences. The computer program comprises: logic configured to establish a first online conference with a first set of participants and a second online conference with a second set of participants, the first and second sets of participants having a common participant simultaneously participating in both; logic configured to present the first online conference via a conference user interface to a client device associated with the common participant; and logic configured to notify the common participant, via the conference user interface, of predetermined events occurring in the secondary conference.
