Abstract
Provided herein are techniques to facilitate controlling audibility of voice commands spoken in a video conference based on eye gaze tracking. A method may include tracking an eye gaze of the participant in relation to voice-enabled user interface objects provided by the video headset and determining that the participant is not an active speaker for the video conference and has an eye gaze towards a particular voice enabled user interface object. Upon the participant speaking a particular voice command associated with the particular voice-enabled user interface object while the participant is not the active speaker for the video conference and has the eye gaze towards the particular voice-enabled user interface object, the method may include inhibiting the particular voice command that is spoken by the participant from being heard by other participants of the video conference.
