Abstract
Example methods and systems provide listening assistance via a virtual conference application for hybrid events. A client device joins a virtual session of an on-site event via the virtual conference application provided by a virtual conference provider. The virtual conference application receives a first audio signal of the virtual session and a second audio signal directly from the audio source at the on-site event. The virtual conference application determines the second audio signal has a latency in reference to the first audio signal satisfying a threshold value. The virtual conference application delays the first audio signal to create a delayed first audio signal to substantially align in time with the second audio signal at the client device. The client device then transmits the delayed first audio signal to an assistive listening device.
