Abstract
Detecting at least one of an echo detector and a noise detector based on analysis of audio streams transmitted to and received from each endpoint of a conference. When certain characteristics of the respective audio streams for a given endpoint are classified as significant against certain criteria, a determination is made as to whether that endpoint is a source of echo and/or noise. Subsequent actions are taken to alert users and/or prevent broadcast of impaired signals.
