    摘要: Systems that execute controlled user interface transitions for private breakout communication sessions are described herein. A system provides a user interface that gives participants of a communication session a feeling that they are in the same room. When a select group of the participants break out into a private communication session, the system can transition from a first user interface arrangement showing all meeting participants to a second user interface arrangement that only shows the select group of the participants. The system configures the second user interface arrangement to maintain the position of the select group of the participants while removing the participants who are not selected to participate in the private communication session. By maintaining the position of the participants of the private communication session, the system can help participants to maintain a cognitive stream of nonverbal social cues that were provided in the original user interface arrangement.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides systems that display visual indicators that provide user awareness of independent activity of participants in a communication session. The visual indicators are displayed within a Together Mode user interface that gives participants of a communication session a feeling that they are in the same room. The visual indicators further the technical benefits of the Together Mode user interface by providing additional context to particular non-verbal social cues. A system can generate a visual indicator that notifies meeting participants that a particular user is engaged with a computing device. The visual indicator can be generated in response to detecting that the user is interacting with an input device, such as a keyboard or touchscreen. The visual indicator mitigates confusion of non-verbal social cues, e.g., when a person appears to be looking at another participant of a meeting but is actually looking at, and interacting with, a computer.
