Participants’discovery and treatment of visual disarrangements in videcommunication

Video-mediated interactions through large screens have often been compared to ordinary, co-present interactions. In this paper, we adopt a conversation analysis perspective to examine how participants themselves assess the interactional capabilities of a videocommunication device. Based on a detailed video analysis of a multi-camera recording of a professional meeting, our contribution focuses on how participants gain access, from the detailed organisation of their embodied activity, to some accountable features of the videocommunication device, and make visible, through their bodily activities and conversational work, the device capabilities to sustain interactional visual adjustments.
