1. A computer-implemented method for organizing visual note indicators associated with an affinity classification within a virtual whiteboard user interface, the method comprising:
causing, by a computing system comprising one or more computing devices, a virtual whiteboard to be displayed within a graphical user interface of a first client device for execution of a multi-user interaction whiteboard within a graphical user interface of a video conferencing system wherein a respective display of content within the multi-user interaction whiteboard provides a consistent view for each user of the multi-user interaction whiteboard;
receiving, by the computing system, user input provided to the virtual whiteboard indicating user request for a first visual note execution;
generating, by the computing system, a first visual note indicator, wherein the first visual note indicator comprises visual note content based at least in part on user input;
receiving, by the computing system, context menu user input, wherein the context menu user input comprises affinity classification data associated with the first visual note indicator;
mapping, by the computing system, the first visual note indicator to one of a number of affinity classification rendezvous points based at least in part on the context menu user input, wherein mapping the first visual note indicator comprises moving the first visual note indicator within the virtual whiteboard to a location associated with the affinity classification rendezvous points;
providing, by the computing system, data for rendering the virtual whiteboard within the graphical user interface, the data including note data associated with the visual note content and context menu data associated with the affinity classification data.
