1. An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory coupled to the processor, the memory including program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to;
receive a plurality of audio signals, each audio signal captured from one of a plurality of participants of a virtual collaboration session;
determine, for each of the plurality of participants, a voice quality of the participant'"'"'s audio signal;
provide a visual cue of the voice quality of each participant'"'"'s audio signal to at least one of the plurality of participants;
determine that a given participant'"'"'s audio signal includes a component not intended to be shared with other participants of the virtual collaboration session;
provide a warning to the given participant; and
use a given participant'"'"'s action in response to the warning as part of a self-learning process.

10. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, at an Information Handling System (IHS), an audio signal captured from a participant of a virtual collaboration session, wherein the virtual collaboration session includes a conference call or a whiteboarding session; and determining whether the audio signal includes a component not intended to be shared with other participants of the virtual collaboration session; providing a muting instruction to the participant; and using a participant'"'"'s manual muting of a microphone in response to the instruction as part of a self-learning process. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by an Information Handling System (IHS), cause the IHS to:
-
receive an audio signal captured from a participant of a virtual collaboration session; identify at least one of;
context of the audio signal or a gesture made by the participant during the virtual collaboration session;modify a manner in which the audio signal is provided to other participants of the virtual collaboration session based, at least in part, upon the context determine that the participant'"'"'s audio signal includes a component not intended to be shared with other participants of the virtual collaboration session; provide a message to the participant using a communication medium distinct from the virtual collaboration session; and use a participant'"'"'s action in response to the message as part of a self-learning process. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
