1. A method, comprising:
- retrieving, by a server, capture data 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 capture data of the videoconferencing environment;
receiving, by the server, a gaze direction change associated with a conferee within the videoconferencing environment;
retrieving, by the server, updated capture data of the videoconferencing environment in response to the gaze direction change; and
superimposing, by the server, the video data associated with the participant with the updated capture data of the videoconferencing environment in response to the gaze direction change.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and products generate telepresence visualizations for a remote participant to a videoconference. 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.
