The invention relates to a method for sensing and communicating visual focus of attention in a video conference between at least a first and a second video conferee (P1, P2, P3) located in respectively a first and a second location. The method is using a video conference system comprising a user interface (U) displaying the video conferees (P1, P2, P3) on a screen (13) in each of said first and second locations. The method comprises: i) retrieving the point of regard (g) of the first video conferee (P1) located in the first location, in relation to the user interface (U) displayed on the screen (13) to said first video conferee (P1) in said first location, by means of an eye tracking device (16), and ii) determining the likelihood that the first video conferee (P1) is looking at each of one or more video conferees (P2, P3) as a function of said point of regard (g) and the spatial regions of said one or more video conferees (P2, P3) as rendered in said user interface (U) in said first location. Communicating the visual focus of attention of the first video conferee (P1) in said first location, comprises: generating and displaying a visual cue (40a; 40b; 40c; 40d) in said user interface (U) displayed in said second location to the second video conferee (P2), indicating the likelihood that the first video conferee (P1) in said first location is looking at the second video conferee (P2), and/or a third video conferee (P3) in the same second location or in a third location.
