Abstract

A portion of an audio stream representing speech of a conference participant is filtered based on a determination that the portion of the audio stream corresponds to a predefined sensitive topic. An audio stream representing speech of a user of a participant device connected to a conference is obtained. First hash values are determined for portions of the speech. A determination is made, by comparing the first hash values against second hash values for records of a data store, that a portion of the speech corresponds to a predefined sensitive topic indicated within the records. A filter is applied against the portion of the speech to produce a modified audio stream within which the predefined sensitive topic is sanitized. An output, within the conference, of the modified audio stream is then caused in place of the audio stream.
