A method includes, during a teleconference between a first audio input/output device and a second audio input/output device, receiving, at an analysis and response device, a signal indicating a spoken command, the spoken command associated with a command mode. The method further includes, in response to receiving the signal, generating, at the device, a reply message based on the spoken command, the reply message to be output to one or more devices selected based on the command mode. The one or more devices includes the first audio input/output device, the second audio input/output device, or a combination thereof.

Responding to a spoken command in a communication session

Replying to a spoken command

A device includes one or more processor devices, an audio sensor, a speaker device, and one or more memory devices. The audio sensor is configured to generate an audio stream. The one or more memory devices store data including data identifying a wake phrase and instructions. The instructions are executable by the one or more processor devices to initiate, as a result of detecting the wake phrase in the audio stream and determining that the wake phrase is invalid, presentation via the speaker device of audio output identifying a valid wake input. The instructions are further executable by the one or more processors to initiate, as a result of detecting the valid wake input, communication of a portion of the audio stream to a natural language processing service.

Identifying a valid wake input

A videoconferencing device that determines a spatial arrangement of the video streams output at a first endpoint based on a number of display devices being utilized at the first endpoint and a number of cameras being utilized at each of the one or more additional endpoints.

Automated layouts optimized for multi-screen and multi-camera videoconferencing calls

Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and techniques for creating media conferencing layouts that are intelligent (i.e., based on some underlying principle to enhance user-perceived conference quality) and persistent (i.e., consistent within a call and from one call to the next).

Intelligent layouts for call scaling and layout persistence
