1. A method, comprising:
- retrieving, by a server, a digital image of a videoconferencing environment associated with a videoconference;
receiving, by the server, a stream of video data associated with a participant of the videoconference;
superimposing, by the server, the stream of the video data associated with the participant with the digital image of the videoconferencing environment;
receiving, by the server, a locational change associated with the videoconferencing environment;
retrieving, by the server, an updated image of the videoconferencing environment in response to the locational change; and
superimposing, by the server, the video data associated with the participant onto the updated image of the videoconferencing environment in response to the locational change.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and products generate telepresence visualizations for a remote participant to a videoconferences. A central server superimposes the remote participant onto images or video of the teleconferencing environment. The central server thus generates an illusion that the remote participant is in the same conferencing environment as other conferees.
