Abstract

Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for processing participant input in a virtual meeting to determine effects to render in the virtual meeting. A natural language processor (NLP) processes a sentence to determine a structural representation of the sentence comprising a subject and object, which is processed to determine whether the object of the sentence comprises an object of recognition and the subject of the sentence is a participant in the virtual meeting. The structural representation of the sentence is processed to determine an attention level in response to determining that the structural representation of the sentence includes the object of recognition and the subject comprises a participant in the virtual meeting. In response to the attention level exceeding a threshold, a recognition attention effect is rendered in the virtual meeting associated with the attention level, observable by the participants of the virtual meeting.
