Abstract: This disclosure describes selecting the best hosting server(s) in a particular geographical location for the majority of participants in an interactive electronic activity. A request for an electronic interactive activity involving a plurality of nodes is received. At least one factor related to a plurality of potential servers is evaluated with respect to the plurality of nodes, where at least two of the plurality of potential servers are located in different geographical locations. Based at least in part on evaluating the factors, one or more of the potential servers is selected to host the electronic interactive activity, where the one or more of the potential servers selected are located in the same geographical location.

Abstract: Implementations for combining at least two video streams received from devices of a plurality of participants of a video conference into a composite video stream are described. A video conference including the video streams received from the devices of the plurality of participants is established. A capability associated with consuming at least two of the video streams is received from at least one of the devices. The at least two video streams are then combined into a composite video stream based on the capability associated with consuming the at least two video streams. The composite video stream is transmitted to the at least one of the devices.

Abstract: Implementations for selecting hosting server(s) in a particular availability zone for a network service involving a plurality of participants is described. A request for a network service involving a plurality of nodes is received from a computing device associated with an organizer. Geographic locations of the plurality of nodes involved in the network service, the type of the network service, performance of a plurality of servers, and operational constraints of the plurality of servers are evaluated. At least two of the plurality of servers are located in different geographical locations. One or more of the plurality of servers to host the network service are selected based on the evaluation.

Abstract: Implementations for combining a plurality of content based on instructions for a layout of a video conference are described. A video conference is established between a plurality of devices of participants of the video conference. First content is received from a device of the plurality of devices in the established video conference. Second content is also received. Instructions for a layout of the first content and the second content during the video conference is received. Based on the instructions for the layout, the first content and the second content are combined into a composite video stream. The composite video stream is saved or transmitted.
