Collaborative virtual waiting room

A request for a contact center agent interaction is received from a user device associated with a user. The user device is connected to a virtual waiting room that includes waiting users of a contact center queue. The virtual waiting room enables the user to virtually interact with at least a subset of the waiting users. Responsive to an indication to activate a private session between the user device and an agent device associated with a contact center agent, the user is removed from the virtual waiting room.

Teleconference system and terminal apparatus

A teleconference system includes an audio data receiving section, a group information holding section, and an audio controller. The audio data receiving section receives audio data obtained by multiple terminal apparatuses of multiple users who participate in a conference. The group information holding section holds group information indicating multiple groups. The groups are obtained by grouping the users of the terminal apparatuses. Any of the terminal apparatuses is referred to as a certain terminal apparatus. Each of the groups includes one or more users. The audio controller controls volumes of sound output of the audio data independently for the respective groups based on the group information held by the group information holding section. The audio data is received by the audio data receiving section.
