Original Abstract Submitted

some examples of the disclosure are directed to systems and methods for managing locations of users in a spatial group within a communication session based on the display of shared content in a three-dimensional environment. in some examples, a first electronic device and a second electronic device are in communication within a communication session. in some examples, the first electronic device displays a three-dimensional environment including an avatar corresponding to a user of the second electronic device. in some examples, in response to detecting an input corresponding to a request to display shared content in the three-dimensional environment, if the shared content is a first type of content, the first electronic positions the avatar a first distance away from the viewpoint, and if the shared content is a second type of content, the first electronic device positions the avatar a second distance away from the viewpoint.
