Abstract
Systems and methods of the present disclosure are directed to automatic control of mute controllers for participants in videoconferences. For example, a method for automatically controlling a mute control associated with a participant during a videoconference includes obtaining communication data associated with the participant participating in the videoconference. The communication data includes audio signals associated with the participant and/or visual signals associated with the participant. The method includes processing the communication data by a gate control model to generate an output. The output is indicative of an intent of the participant to communicate with other participants of the videoconference. The method includes generating a noise gate status based at least in part on the output associated with the gate control model. The method includes automatically controlling the mute control of the participant based at least in part on the noise gate status.
