The disclosure herein describes a system for calculating meeting inclusion metrics including insights and recommendations. Meeting data associated with one or more meetings attended by at least one participant remotely is converted into anonymized meeting data for inclusivity metric analysis. An inclusivity insights manager generates inclusivity metrics associated with inclusive behavior and language occurring during meetings to measure the level of inclusivity. The inclusivity metrics include attendee participation metrics measuring an amount of participation by each meeting attendee, participation in-person versus participation remotely, concurrent speech indicating attendees may be talking over one another or other interruptions occurring during meetings. Inclusivity metric data includes insights and actionable recommendations to improve inclusivity at future meetings provided at an individual level, group level or organizational level. The inclusivity insights can also include percentage metric values, graphs, feedback, and other metric-related information for improving participation by meeting attendees.

The present application relates to defining acronyms in messages between a sender device and a receiver device. The sender device receives a text content of a message from a user and parses the text content to identify one or more acronyms within the message. The sender device presents, to the user, a secondary task pane including the one or more acronyms present within the message and corresponding acronym definitions in editable text fields and receives, from the user, an update to one or more of the corresponding acronym definitions. The sender device sends the message and metadata including the corresponding acronym definitions to one or more other users. A receiver device receives the message and converts each of the acronyms to a respective hyperlink. The receiver device detects a user interaction with the respective hyperlink for a respective acronym and presents at least the respective first acronym definition.
