Abstract

A computer-implemented method, according to one approach, includes: receiving a request to add a subset of participants on a group call to a private communication channel. The group call includes a shared communication channel extending between the participants, the shared communication channel being configured to exchange information between the participants. The method further includes evaluating statuses of the participants in the subset. Moreover, in response to determining that the participants in the subset are not already included on a different private communication channel, and that the participants in the subset are not actively being added to a different private communication channel, the subset of participants are added to the private communication channel.
