1. A system comprising:
- a display dividable into a collaboration section and a video section, the collaboration section and the video section being offset at an angle less than 180 degrees and greater than or equal to 90 degrees;
at least one first camera positioned proximate to the video section of the display and configured to capture first video data including at least a portion of a presenter area proximate to the collaboration section of the display and the first video data including at least a portion of the collaboration section of the display; and
at least one second camera configured to capture second video data including at least a portion of a meeting participant area;
wherein the display is a video wall having a first wall that defines the video section and is offset at the angle with respect to a second wall that defines the collaboration section, wherein the first video data is displayed on a second collaboration section of a second video wall of a second room, the second video wall configured to display a second video data on the second video wall.

Abstract
An arrangement for 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. Additionally, a camera is arranged to focus on the meeting participants shoulder while the meeting participant is interacting with the collaborative materials. Such location of the camera provides a more natural view of the collaborator to remote users.
