Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for automatically determining the active users in an audio or video conference session including a plurality of users. In one implementation, the system may include a memory storing instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions to receive packets from a device associated with each of a plurality of users, update a loudest level associated with each user if the received packet from the user reflects a communication louder than all of the previously received packets from the user, calculate a loudness ratio associated with each user based on the loudest level associated with each user and a corresponding time-decaying average, sort the plurality of users by a loudness score associated with each user, and mute audio or hide video received from a subset of the plurality of users in the conference session. The loudness score may be based on the loudness ratio associated with each user, and the muted or hidden subset may include one or more users for which the associated loudness score is lowest according to the sorting.
