A technology for interacting with a collaborative videoconferencing environment is disclosed. A display having a substantially “L-shaped” configuration allows for display of collaborative materials and video of remote participants simultaneously, which provides for a more natural interaction for a meeting participant interacting with the collaborative materials. Meeting participants in the collaborative videoconferencing environment can be classified based on position with respect to the environment, or their likely interaction profile. The technology can configure a meeting experience based on the classification of the meeting participant.
