Patent Images
1. A system, comprising:
- a processor; and
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium embodying software that is operable when executed by the processor to;
receive requests to join a conference from a plurality of user devices proximate a first endpoint, the requests comprising a username;
receive an audio signal for the conference from the first endpoint, the first endpoint operable to capture audio proximate the first endpoint;
transmit the audio signal to a second endpoint, remote from the first endpoint; and
identify an active speaker proximate the first endpoint based on information received from the plurality of user devices.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving requests to join a conference from a plurality of user devices proximate a first endpoint. The requests include a username. The method also includes receiving an audio signal for the conference from the first endpoint. The first endpoint is operable to capture audio proximate the first endpoint. The method also includes transmitting the audio signal to a second endpoint, remote from the first endpoint. The method also includes identifying, by a processor, an active speaker proximate the first endpoint based on information received from the plurality of user devices.
