1. A method for providing a hybrid conference user interface, the method comprising:
generating, as part of the hybrid conference user interface, an establishing shot, wherein the establishing shot comprises a virtual representation of a meeting space which spatially establishes attendee positions around a reference object;
receiving a selection of a first position around the reference object from a remote attendee;
in response to receiving the selection, displaying, in the establishing shot, an indication that the first position is occupied by the remote attendee;
determining, based upon data received from a device in a shared physical space, that an in-person attendee is seated in a physical location corresponding to a second position around the reference object;
in response to the determination, displaying, in the establishing shot, an indication that a second position is occupied by the in-person attendee;
receiving an indication to start the hybrid conference; and
causing a first transition from the establishing shot for the remote attendee to a first perspective view, the first perspective view determined based upon the first position; and
causing a second transition from the establishing shot for the in-person attendee to a second perspective view, the second perspective view determined based upon the second position.
