Abstract
Methods are provided in which a user device connects a participant to a collaboration session in which the participant communicates with at least one other participant using audio and/or video, which is distributed in a media stream to the at least one other participant via a respective user device. In these methods, the user device detects at least one of an object within a space that is included in the video and an audio signal and selectively filters the media stream to exclude the object or a portion of the audio signal based on at least one of participant list information, learned background information, or learned voices of participants of the collaboration session.
