Abstract

A method, system, and medium are provided for identifying participants of video conference sessions. One embodiment of the method includes receiving enhanced video content that identifies one or more participants at a particular location of a video conference session. Each participant may be associated with a mobile device. Video conference participants are identified based on wireless communications from the mobile device, which has an electronic module, that is associated with the corresponding participant. The enhanced video content is displayed on a display screen. Such enhanced video content includes video content captured by a video camera that is aggregated with participant data that provides an indication of at least one participant.
