Original Abstract Submitted

a first conference participant of a conference that includes a whiteboard is identified. a first viewport into the whiteboard is identified. the first viewport is displayed at a device of the first conference participant. a second viewport is set based on the first viewport. the second viewport is displayed at a device of a second conference participant. the first conference participant may be identified based on a trigger associated with the first conference participant. the first conference participant may be identified based on speech in an audio stream received from the device of the first conference participant. the first conference participant may be identified based on an edit to the whiteboard received from the device of the first conference participant.
