A non-transitory computer readable medium on which are stored program instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to display Up-Next conference status by performing operations of:

• attending a first network conference;
• obtaining a meeting identifier and a meeting time for a second network conference;
• requesting conference status information for the second network conference based on the meeting identifier, wherein the conference status information includes images of attendees that have joined the second network conference;
• and
• displaying Up-Next conference status during the first network conference, wherein the Up-Next conference status comprises the meeting time and the images of the attendees that have joined the second network conference.
