Monitoring and controlling the status of a communication session

A communication-session (CS) module for monitoring a CS status of one or more communication sessions with a computer, comprising:

• one or more status indicators;
• one or more event sensors;
• one or more controls;
• a processor device that performs actions, including:
• associating, over a network, the CS module with the one or more communication sessions, wherein at least one of one or more microphones or one or more cameras are employed to participate in the one or more communication sessions;
• providing, over the network, the CS status of the one or more communication sessions, wherein the CS status includes at least one of a status of the one or more microphones or a status of the one or more cameras;
• controlling a mode of the one or more status indicators based on the CS status, wherein the mode of the one or more status indicators indicates at least one of the status of the one or more microphones or the status of the one or more cameras;
• and
• in response to an update of the CS status, updating the mode of the one or more status indicators based on the updated CS status.

A processor readable non-transitory storage media that includes instructions to monitor a communication-session (CS) status of one or more communication sessions with a computer, wherein execution of the instructions by one or more processor devices performs actions, comprising:

• associating, over a network, a CS module with the one or more communication sessions, wherein at least one of one or more microphones or one or more cameras are employed to participate in the one or more communication sessions;
• providing, over the network, the CS status of the one or more communication sessions, wherein the CS status includes at least one of a status of the one or more microphones or a status of the one or more cameras;
• employing the CS module to provide one or more status indicators based on the CS status, wherein the one or more status indicators indicate at least one of the status of the one or more microphones or the status of the one or more cameras;
• and
• in response to an update of the CS status, updating the one or more status indicators based on the updated CS status.
