Sorting Speakers in a Network-Enabled Conference

One or more computer-readable media having computer-readable instructions therein that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform acts comprising:

• determining which of one or more audio steams in a network-enabled conference having three or more participants contain speech to provide speech streams;
• updating a moving average of the speech streams, the moving average based at least in part on an amount of speech in each speech stream over a period of time;
• determining which of the speech streams has a highest moving average;
• if only one of the speech streams has the highest moving average,
• marking that speech stream as the dominant speaker;
• or
• if two of the speech streams have a same highest moving average and only one of the speech streams currently contains speech, marking the speech stream that currently contains speech as the dominant speaker;
• and
• indicating to a participant of the network-enabled conference that the marked speech stream is the dominant speaker effective to enable context associated with the dominant speaker to be provided to the participant

A method implemented at least in part by a computing device comprising:

• receiving audio streams from one or more participants in an Internet-enabled conference with three or more participants;
• determining which of the audio streams contain speech to provide one or more speech streams;
• maintaining a history of these speech streams;
• determining, at an interval of time and based on a period of the history of these speech streams, that one of the participants is the dominant speaker;
• and
• indicating, to at least one of the three or more participants, which of the participants is determined to be the dominant speaker.
