1. A system comprising:

  • an audio-video interface module configured to receive first and second audio input data and first and second video input data of a video conference session, the first audio input data and the first video input data being linked to a first display device of a first user device, the second audio input data and the second video input data being linked to a second display device of the first user device;

    a speaker detector module, including one or more processors, configured to process, based on a determination that the first and second audio input data are linked to the first user device, the first and second audio input data to identify an active audio signal, the speaker detector module being further configured to process the first and second audio input data by being configured to;

    compare the first audio input data and the second audio input data;

    based on the comparison, determine whether the first audio input data leads or lags the second audio input data; and

    eitherin response to a determination that the first audio input data leads the second audio input data, identify the first audio input data as the active audio signal;

    orin response to a determination that the first audio input data lags the second audio input data, identify the second audio input data as the active audio signal; and

    a video conference module configured to either;

    based on an identification of the first audio input data as the active audio signal, provide to a second user device a first message to display the first video input data in an active speaker display frame;

    orbased on an identification of the second audio input data as the active audio signal, provide to the second user device a second message to display the second video input data in the active speaker display frame.
