Abstract
In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for executing a command by a digital assistant in a group device environment are presented. A plurality of devices with digital assistants may be clustered for the duration of an event. One of the devices of the cluster may be assigned as an arbitrator device for the cluster. A user may issue a verbal command executable by a digital assistant of the cluster. The user that issued the verbal command may be identified via voice analysis. A determination may be made as to whether the verbal command corresponds to an intent to share content with a plurality of members of the cluster, or a specific member of the cluster, and a device of the cluster may be selected for executing a reply to the verbal command based on the determined intent and the executing device's presentation capabilities.
