Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media relate to a method for providing an active pane within a communication platform.

Selection of an active pane view may be received via the view menu. The system may display a draggable active pane. A drag input from the user is received to move the active pane to a new location on screen near a camera capturing video of the user in the video conference. The system displays the active pane on the screen at the new location near the camera.
