a processor; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the processor to perform operations comprising:
providing, in association with designing a virtual space for virtual conferencing, a first interface for configuring plural participant video elements within the virtual space, each of the plural participant video elements being assignable to a respective participant;
receiving, via the first interface, an indication of user input for setting first properties for the plural participant video elements;
providing, in association with designing the virtual space, a second interface for configuring a bot participant in the virtual space, the bot participant for simulating an actual participant in association with a participant video element of the plural participant video elements;
receiving, via the second interface, an indication of second user input for setting second properties for the bot participant;
providing, in association with designing the virtual space, display of the virtual space based on the first properties and the second properties, the bot participant being assigned to the participant video element;
receiving, in association with designing the virtual space, an indication of third user input to remove the bot participant from the virtual space; and
removing, in response to receiving the indication of third user input, the bot participant from the virtual space.
