Claim 13:
14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, direct a processor of a first device operated by a user to:
establish a first network connection between the first device and a collaboration platform server, the collaboration platform server managing master versions of a set of components for a collaboration platform that provides voice communication services with respect to a virtual space, wherein the master versions of the set of components managed by the collaboration platform server include:
a master version of a first voice component configured to manage voice communication originating at the first device, and
a master version of a second voice component configured to manage voice communication originating at a second device separate from the first device;

set, by way of communication with the collaboration platform server over the first network connection, the master version of the first voice component to include a first location, within the virtual space, at which the first voice component is positioned;
determine, based on the master version of the second voice component as communicated by the collaboration platform server over the first network connection, a second location, within the virtual space, at which the second voice component is positioned;
receive, by way of a second network connection between the first device and the second device, audio data representative of voice communication originating at the second device; and
generate, based on the first and second locations, a spatialized rendering of the audio data for presentation to the user.
