Abstract
In one example, a participant device can receive a heartbeat message from a leader device associated with a videoconferencing meeting. The participant device can correspond to a participant in the videoconferencing meeting. The participant device can determine a current time, extract a send time from the heartbeat message, and determine an offset value indicating a difference between a first clock of the participant device and a second clock of the leader device. The participant device can then determine a last heartbeat message time based on the send time and the offset value. Based on the current time and the last heartbeat message, the participant device can determine whether to disconnect from or stay connected to the videoconferencing meeting.
