Systems and methods for improved group communication sessions

An apparatus for processing audio data, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors configured to:
• identify a primary conversation of a group communication session including a plurality of in-person participants and at least one remote participant;
• detect a secondary conversation between two or more in-person participants of the plurality of in-person participants of the group communication session based on first audio data between the two or more in-person participants, wherein the secondary conversation is different from the primary conversation;
• identify the secondary conversation as private in response to identifying the first audio data as private based on at least one visual cue determined based on first video data corresponding to the first audio data;
• identify the secondary conversation between the two or more in-person participants as transitioning from private to non-private in response to identifying second audio data between the two or more in-person participants as non-private based on at least one additional visual cue determined based on second video data corresponding to the second audio data, and wherein the at least one additional visual cue is different from the at least one visual cue;
• and
• output the second audio data of the secondary conversation based on identifying the second audio data as non-private and excluding the first audio data of the secondary conversation from being output based on identifying the first audio data as private.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• identify a primary conversation of a group communication session including a plurality of in-person participants and at least one remote participant;
• detect a secondary conversation between two or more in-person participants of the plurality of in-person participants of the group communication session based on first audio data between the two or more in-person participants, wherein the secondary conversation is different from the primary conversation;
• identify the secondary conversation as private in response to identifying the first audio data as private based on at least one visual cue determined based on first video data corresponding to the first audio data;
• identify the secondary conversation between the two or more in-person participants as transitioning from private to non-private in response to identifying second audio data between the two or more in-person participants as non-private based on at least one additional visual cue determined based on second video data corresponding to the second audio data, and wherein the at least one additional visual cue is different from the at least one visual cue;
• and
• output the second audio data of the secondary conversation based on identifying the second audio data as non-private and excluding the first audio data of the secondary conversation from being output based on identifying the first audio data as private.
