==Original Abstract Submitted==

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for dynamically assigning participant video feeds within a virtual conferencing system. The program and method provide, in association with designing a virtual space for virtual conferencing, an interface for configuring a set of rooms, each room being associated with a different number of participant video elements assignable to respective participant video feeds; receive, via the interface, an indication of user input for setting properties for the set of rooms; determine, in association with virtual conferencing, a first number of participants for a room; select a first room corresponding to the first number of participants; provide display of the first room; and assign, for each of the first number of participants, a participant video feed corresponding to the participant with a respective participant video element in the first room.
