A method comprising:
- determining a position of one or more video cameras;
- communicating the position of the one or more video cameras with a video communication application;
- controlling a position of one or more video windows in a display device from the position of the one or more video cameras, wherein controlling the position of the one or more video windows comprises:
- positioning the one or more video windows in the display device at a position closest to the one or more video cameras;
- determining whether an initial position of the one or more video windows is available, based on whether or not an area of the initial position is occupied by another window;
- and
- in response to determining that the initial position is unavailable, select another position for the one or more video windows;
- and
- rebalancing an audio speaker setting of the video communication application based on the position of the one or more video windows in the display device.
