Systems and methods provide location of an object via video conferencing. The systems and methods may be useful for applications that require remote assistance from an individual to help another individual locate an object or a feature within an image displayed on screen. The user of a local device may view the remote image for context of the environment. In some embodiments, the local user may help direct the remote user by directions to zoom in or out of the displayed image and may provide a frame to guide the remote user. A position in the remote image shown in the remote device is activated and displayed by the local user as an icon to help pinpoint the object location for the remote user.
