We obtained spectro-interferometric observations in the visible of $\beta$ Lyrae and $\upsilon$ Sgr using the instrument VEGA of the CHARA interferometric array. For $\beta$ Lyrae, the dispersed fringe visibilities and differential phases were obtained in spectral regions containing the H$\alpha$ and HeI 6678 lines and the H$\beta$ and HeI 4921 lines. Whereas the source is unresolved in the continuum, the source of the emission lines is resolved and the photocenter of the bulk of the H$\alpha$ emission exhibits offsets correlated with the orbital phase. For $\upsilon$ Sgr, both the continuum and H$\alpha$ sources are resolved, but no clear binary signal is detected. The differential phase shift across the line reveals that the bulk of the H$\alpha$ emission is clearly offset from the primary.
