1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: for a web conference, aggregating metadata related to data for a visual display at one or more participant electronic devices and a presenter electronic device that communicate with each other in the web conference that includes the visual display; determining a presentation parameter from the metadata, the presentation parameter determined from an aggregation result of a compilation of the combined metadata, wherein the combined metadata includes additional non-visual metadata different from the metadata related to the data of the visual display, and wherein the combined metadata is provided to the presenter electronic device for selecting display resolution; generating at a display screen of the presenter electronic device a selection interface from the presentation parameter, wherein the selection interface includes a heatmap presented from the aggregation result, wherein the heatmap includes at least two heatmap sections, including a first heatmap section displayed at a first intensity corresponding to first combined metadata related to a first participant electronic device and a second heatmap section displayed at a second intensity overlaid on the first heatmap section and corresponding to second combined metadata related to a second participant electronic device, wherein the second heatmap section overlaid on the first heatmap section form a common area that shows a combined intensity of the first intensity with the second intensity, and wherein the selection interface permits the area outlined by each heatmap section to be selected; activating a conference setting responsive to receiving a selection from the selection interface; and displaying a set of content presented at the presenter electronic device and shared with the one or more participant devices according to the selected conference setting.
