User status detection and interface

A system comprising:

• a hardware processor;
• and
• instructions configured to execute on the hardware processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
• gathering a plurality of metrics from a plurality of components of a conferencing endpoint in a conference call,
• determining a plurality of status indicator values according to the plurality of metrics, the plurality of status indicator values each identifying a component status of a component of the plurality of components;
• wherein determining a plurality of status indicator values comprises:
• detecting a headset status of a headset, the headset status being the headset is disconnected from a computer, and
• detecting a video status of a video stream excluding a user, wherein the plurality of status indicator values comprises the headset status and the video status,
• combining the plurality of status indicator values to infer a user status,
• wherein combining the plurality of status indicator values comprises combining the headset status and the video status to determine the user status of an attentiveness change of a target user,
• generating a description of the user status of the target user with respect to the conference call, and
• presenting the description of the user status.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable program code for performing operations comprising:

• gathering a plurality of metrics from a plurality of components of a conferencing endpoint in a conference call;
• determining a plurality of status indicator values according to the plurality of metrics, the plurality of status indicator values each identifying a component status of a component of the plurality of components, wherein determining a plurality of status indicator values comprises:
• detecting a headset status of a headset, the headset status being the headset is disconnected from a computer, and
• detecting a video status of a video stream excluding a user, wherein the plurality of status indicator values comprises the headset status and the video status;
• combining the plurality of status indicator values to infer a user status,
• wherein combining the plurality of status indicator values comprises combining the headset status and the video status to determine the user status of an attentiveness change of a target user;
• generating a description of the user status of the target user with respect to the conference call;
• and
• presenting the description of the user status.
