Abstract: Example embodiments are directed to providing a zoomable meeting and collaborative canvas with image pointers. In example embodiments, a video management system establishes a zoomable meeting by communicatively coupling a plurality of user devices. A live audio/video feed is received from one or more users of the plurality of user devices. The system causes display of the zoomable meeting on a display of each of the plurality of user devices by displaying a zoomable canvas that enables movement of one or more image pointers that each show the live audio-video feed of one of the one or more users. The system monitors for an image pointer operation for one of the image pointers, whereby the image pointer operation comprises a navigation command or a zoom command. Based on the image pointer operation, the system causes an update to the zoomable canvas to display performance of the image pointer operation.
