Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for connection and disconnection of a shared audio endpoint. One method includes monitoring a connection between a first user mobile device and a shared audio endpoint. The method also includes making, while monitoring, a first determination that a signal strength of the connection between the first user mobile device and the shared audio endpoint is less than a disconnection threshold. Further, the method includes making, while monitoring, a second determination that an active communication stream does not exist between the first user mobile device and the shared audio endpoint. Still further, the method includes closing the connection between the shared audio endpoint and the first user mobile device in response to both the first determination and the second determination.
