A system provides notifications when a meeting participant interrupts another participant who has been selected as a speaker during a meeting. A notification is displayed when a first participant raises their hand, and prior to the first participant having a chance to speak, the system detects that a second participant has interrupted. The notification can be in the form of an animated gesture to gently remind the second participant that the first participant had requested to speak and that the second participant had taken the first participant's turn. The animation can include an icon that increases in size over time or the system performs other forms of a graphical transformation. The system can also control the volume of the interrupting user, which may be decreased after the interrupting user speaks for a period of time. The system can also utilize AI models to analyze the context of a conversation to determine if a participant is interrupting a designated speaker.
