Abstract
A system for managing a communication session between a number of participants is provided. The system can analyze activity of each participant and generate recommendations on the communication flow of a meeting. For instance, the system can analyze user activity and other contextual data for each user to determine a recommended speaking arrangement for the participants. The recommendations can be presented to a moderator who can then utilize the recommendations to control the flow of the meeting. Inputs received from the moderator can modify speaking and viewing permissions to emphasize or deemphasize displays and audio of individual participants. In some configurations, the recommendations can be utilized by a system to automatically control permissions for each participant for the purposes of controlling communication and flow of an event, such as an online meeting.
