A computer-readable media, system, and method for providing role-based access management to channels within a group-based communication system. Role-based access management allows for a plurality of roles to be established and for users to be associated with these roles. Roles may be associated with sets of permissions allowing users assigned to the respective role to perform various actions within the group-based communication system. The group-based communication system may include preset, system roles with predetermined permissions and custom, user-defined roles may be created by administrators within the group-based communication system.

A conference system includes a conversation state determiner that determines whether or not the state of first and second users is a direct conversation state in which direct conversation is possible without using a speech system, and an output controller that controls whether or not to cause the speech system to output a first acquired voice from a second speaker, based on the determination result of the conversation state determiner.

According to one embodiment, a signal processing apparatus correlates a plurality of communication terminals as a group and enables one-to-many communications in the group. The signal processing apparatus includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry assigns a transmission right to one of the communication terminals in the group. The processing circuitry generates text data based on voice data from said one of the communication terminals in possession of the transmission right. The processing circuitry gives a texting completion notice indicative of completion of texting processing to the communication terminals in the group. The processing circuitry transmits, after the texting completion notice is given, the generated text data to at least one of the communication terminals in the group.

A method, computer system, and a computer program product for automatic detection of the need for a breakout virtual meeting is provided. The present invention may include receiving a computerized version of a real-time conversation between a plurality of participants of a virtual meeting. The present invention may also include determining whether a breakout virtual meeting is necessary among a subset of the plurality of participants of the virtual meeting. The present invention may further include, in response to determining that the breakout virtual meeting is necessary, automatically transmitting an alert indicating that the breakout virtual meeting is necessary among the subset of the plurality of participants of the virtual meeting.

A system and method for creating and posting voice messages via a social networking service. A social networking service includes a website for receiving a voice message, post the voice message to the social networking service by storing the voice message as an audio file to a server, and transmit the post to a mobile device each associated with a follower of the social networking service. A client application running on each mobile device receives a notification of the post from the social networking service, and includes a control interface to enable an associated follower to access the voice message.
