Abstract

Presented herein are techniques for seamless teleconferencing. A method can include selecting a first microphone for an audio call, the first microphone associated with a first device of multiple devices that are in proximity to one another and are each connected to the audio call. The method can further include selecting a first speaker for the audio call, the first speaker associated with one of the multiple devices. The method can further include inhibiting audio associated with all microphones and speakers associated with the multiple devices except for the first microphone and the first speaker. The method can further include switching to a second microphone associated with a second device of the multiple devices after a period of time by aligning audio streams of the first microphone and of the second microphone, inhibiting audio associated with the first microphone after the aligning, and enabling audio associated with the second microphone.
