1. An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
at least one memory including computer program code, the memory and the computer program code configured to, working with the processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following;
receive audio information, from at least one microphone, for an audio uplink associated with another apparatus;
receive an indication of an input indicative of a user facing the apparatus;
in response to the input indicative of the user facing the apparatus, determine first ambient sound limited audio information based, at least in part, on the audio information, such that the first ambient sound limited audio information comprises a first magnitude of ambient audio information;
cause transmission of the ambient sound limited audio information by way of the audio uplink;
receive other audio information from the at least one microphone;
receive an indication of an input indicative of the user not facing the apparatus; and
in response to the input indicative of the user not facing the apparatus, determine second ambient sound limited audio information based, at least in part, on the audio information, such that the second ambient sound limited audio information comprises a second magnitude of ambient audio information that is greater than the first magnitude of the ambient audio information.

Abstract
A method comprising receiving an indication of an input indicative of the user not facing the apparatus, determining an ambient sound non-limitation directive associated with the audio uplink based, at least in part, on the input, receiving other audio information, determining ambient sound non-limited audio information based, at least in part, on the other audio information, and causing transmission of the ambient sound non-limited audio information by way of the audio uplink is disclosed.

9. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by an apparatus, audio information, from at least one microphone, for an audio uplink associated with another apparatus; receiving, by the apparatus, an indication of an input indicative of a user facing the apparatus; in response to the input indicative of the user facing the apparatus, determining, by the apparatus, first ambient sound limited audio information based, at least in part, on the audio information, such that the first ambient sound limited audio information comprises a first magnitude of ambient audio information; and causing, by the apparatus, transmission of the ambient sound limited audio information by way of the audio uplink; receiving, by the apparatus, other audio information from the at least one microphone; receiving, by the apparatus, an indication of an input indicative of the user not facing the apparatus; and in response to the input indicative of the user not facing the apparatus, determining, by the apparatus, second ambient sound limited audio information based, at least in part, on the audio information, such that the second ambient sound limited audio information comprises a second magnitude of ambient audio information that is greater than the first magnitude of the ambient audio information. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform:
-
receiving audio information, from at least one microphone, for an audio uplink associated with another apparatus; receiving an indication of an input indicative of a user facing the apparatus; in response to the input indicative of the user facing the apparatus, determining first ambient sound limited audio information based, at least in part, on the audio information, such that the first ambient sound limited audio information comprises a first magnitude of ambient audio information; and causing transmission of the ambient sound limited audio information by way of the audio uplink; receiving other audio information from the at least one microphone; receiving an indication of an input indicative of the user not facing the apparatus; and in response to the input indicative of the user not facing the apparatus, determining second ambient sound limited audio information based, at least in part, on the audio information, such that the second ambient sound limited audio information comprises a second magnitude of ambient audio information that is greater than the first magnitude of the ambient audio information. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
