A system may provide for the generation of spatial audio for audiovisual conferences, video conferences, etc. (referred to herein simply as “conferences”). Spatial audio may include audio encoding and/or decoding techniques in which a sound source may be specified at a location, such as on a two-dimensional plane and/or within a three-dimensional field, and/or in which a direction or target for a given sound source may be specified. A conference participant's position within a conference user interface (“UI”) may be set as the source of sound associated with the conference participant, such that different conference participants may be associated with different sound source positions within the conference UI.
