One example method for virtual relocation during network conferences includes joining, by a host client device, a network conference hosted by a network conference provider, the network conference including a plurality of participants connected to the network conference via respective participant client devices; requesting a first modified video stream from a first participant of the plurality of participants, receiving the first modified video stream from the first participant; selecting a location within a background for the modified video stream; and transmitting, to the participant client devices, the background and an instruction to relocate the first modified video stream based on the location within the background.
