Audio capture device selection for in-person conference participants

A system for audio capture in a conference, the system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to:
• capture first audio of a single user using a microphone of a first device associated with the single user and second audio of the single user using a microphone of a second device associated with the single user, the first device and the second device located within a conference room;
• determine that permission to access the microphone of the second device located in the conference room has been granted;
• sample audio signals from the first device and the second device;
• determine a first quality score (QS) for the sampled audio signals from the first device and a second QS for the sampled audio signals from the second device;
• and
• output the second audio to the conference based on the first QS being less than the second QS.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions operable to cause one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• capturing first audio of a single user using a microphone of a first device associated with the single user and second audio of the single user using a microphone of a second device associated with the single user, the first device and the second device located within a conference room;
• determining that permission to access the microphone of the second device located in the conference room has been granted;
• sampling audio signals from the first device and the second device;
• determining a first quality score (QS) for the sampled audio signals from the first device and a second QS for the sampled audio signals from the second device;
• and
• outputting the second audio to the conference based on the first QS being less than the second QS.
