Abstract

Method and system are provided for audio quality feedback during live transmission from a source that is received at multiple audience devices. The method carried out at a server includes: obtaining audio information of an audio signal as received by at least some of the audience devices in a transmission session; classifying one or more subsets of the audience devices by one or more common factors per subset; and analyzing the obtained audio information from the audience devices in conjunction with the classifications of the subsets of the audience devices to determine one or more common factors that affect received audio quality at an identified subset of the audience devices classified by the one or more common factors. The method provides feedback of the one or more common factors to at least one of the audience devices in the identified subset or to the source device, or to both.
