## Abstract (arXiv)

Synchronous data-rich conversations are commonplace within enterprise organizations, taking place at varying degrees of formality between stakeholders at different levels of data literacy. In these conversations, representations of data are used to analyze past decisions, inform future course of action, as well as persuade customers, investors, and executives. However, it is difficult to conduct these conversations between remote stakeholders due to poor support for presenting data when video-conferencing, resulting in disappointing audience experiences. In this position statement, I reflect on our recent work incorporating multimodal interaction and augmented reality video, suggesting that video-conferencing does not need to be limited to screen-sharing and relegating a speaker's video to a separate thumbnail view. I also comment on future research directions and collaboration opportunities.
