Abstract
In one aspect, an apparatus may include a processor and storage accessible to the processor. The storage may include instructions executable to identify first, second, third, and fourth participants that are to engage in video conferencing. The instructions may also be executable to access data related to the participants. The instructions may then be executable to, based on the data, group the first and second participants together for a first video conference and group the third and fourth participants together for a second video conference. Based on the grouping, the instructions may then be executable to provide a graphical user interface including video feeds of the participants according to the groupings and allowing a fifth participant to enter the different groups to converse audibly with the different groups. The groupings may be made based on past participation in other video conferences and/or traits of the respective participants, for example.
