A method performed by a first electronic device, the method includes, while engaged in a call with a second electronic device, initiating a joint media playback session in which the first and second electronic devices independently stream media content for synchronous playback; driving a speaker with a mix of a downlink signal of the call and an audio signal of the media content at an overall volume level; receiving a user-adjustment at a single volume control for the first electronic device to reduce the overall volume level; in response to the user adjustment, applying a first gain adjustment to the downlink signal and a second gain adjustment to the audio signal; and driving the speaker with a mix of the downlink signal and the audio signal at the reduced volume level.

Method and System for avoiding howling disturbance especially on conferences, wherein the method comprising the steps of using a howling detector unit implemented inside a multipoint control unit to receive an audio stream input from a client, analyzing the audio input with the howling detector in order to verify if howling noise is present, using at least two of a skewness analysis, a flatness analysis, a crest analysis, a rolloff analysis and preventing the audio stream input to be forwarded as an output to an audio mixer, if howling noise is present.

A conferencing system that is connected to multiple information processing devices over a network and provides each of the multiple information processing devices with a conference screen, comprises: a first participant information obtaining unit that obtains first participant information corresponding to a first participant who participates in a video conference by using each of the multiple information processing devices; a second participant information obtaining unit that obtains second participant information related to a second participant who indirectly participates in the video conference together with the first participant; and a display controller that: displays the first participant information obtained by the first participant information obtaining unit in a predetermined display area on the conference screen; and displays the second participant information obtained by the second participant information obtaining unit in the predetermined display area on the conference screen.

Techniques for conducting a virtual event are described. One example method includes displaying, on a display screen of a computing device, a plurality of icons, each icon representing a different virtual event participant, wherein the plurality of icons includes a first icon representing a virtual event participant associated with the computing device; receiving, from an input device of the computing device, input representing a direction of movement for the first icon; and in response to receiving the input, moving the first icon on the display screen in the direction represented by the input.

Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for aggregating active speaker channels, receiving, through an input interface, a selection of a solo speaker channel representing one of the plurality of speaker channels and setting the audio level of any one of the solo speaker channel and at least one non-solo speaker channel, or a combination of both the solo speaker channel and the at least one non-solo speaker channel.

A system and method providing an accessibility tool that enhances a graphical user interface of an online meeting application is described. In one aspect, a computer-implemented method performed by an accessibility tool (128), the method includes accessing (802), in real-time, audio data of a session of an online meeting application (120), identifying (804) a target user, a speaking user, and a task based on the audio data, the speaking user indicating the task assigned to the target user in the audio data, generating (806) a message (318) that identifies the speaking user, the target user, and the task, the message (318) including textual content, and displaying (808) the message (318) in a chat pane (906) of a graphical user interface (902) of the online meeting application (120) during the session.

Systems and methods for video conference content auto-retrieval and focus based on learned relevance is provided. In accordance with the systems and methods, audio streams and video streams from client devices participating in a video conference are received. Based on the audio streams, a subject being discussed during the video conference at a point in time is determined. A video stream that is most relevant to the subject being discussed during the video conference at the point in time is determined from the video streams. The determined video stream is provided to the client devices for presentation on the client devices while the subject is being discussed during the video conference.

In an example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a system comprising a sensor, a multimedia presentation device, and a controller. The controller may be configured to receive telemetry from the multimedia device and receive a multimedia capture from the sensor. The controller compares the multimedia capture to a control element and determines a relationship between the telemetry and the comparison. Based on the determination, the controller adjusts the configuration of the multimedia presentation device.
