One embodiment provides a method, including: identifying, using a processor, a behavior of a user in a conferencing application; classifying, based on the identified behavior, the user as an aggressive contributor or an acquiescent contributor; and performing, based on the classification, a function. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Online conference user behavior

Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for detecting and correcting audio echo. An apparatus includes a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code is executable by the processor to detect audio that is received through an audio channel of a first user during a conference call being echoed through an audio channel of a second user in the conference call. The code is executable by the processor to identify the second user associated with the audio channel that is echoing the audio of the first user. The code is executable by the processor to perform a corrective action associated with the second user to prevent audio that is received from the first user from being echoed through the audio channel of the second user.

Detecting and correcting audio echo

In one aspect, an apparatus may include at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage may include instructions executable by the at least one processor to compare a first number of bytes sent from a first device as part of a video conference to a second number of bytes received at a second device as part of the video conference, where the first and second number of bytes may both pertain to a same portion of the video conference. The instructions may also be executable to, responsive to the first number of bytes not matching the second number of bytes to within a threshold, take one or more actions to assist in mitigating future loss of bytes for the video conference.

Facilitation of video conference based on bytes sent and received

One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving, in a conferencing application, an indication to contact a conference participant; accessing, using a processor, context data associated with the conference participant, wherein the context data identifies a likely location of the conference participant; identifying, at the likely location, an electronic device associated with the conference participant; and contacting the conference participant via the electronic device. Other aspects are described and claimed.
