Abstract
Systems and methods for mediating an audio source during a meeting are provided. An active audio source is identified and mapped to instances connected to a communications and collaboration platform to determine a mapped instance. An audio signal device is determined from multiple devices for capturing audio from the active audio source. An audio system is configured to manipulate an active audio signal from the audio signal device via the mapped instance. In some cases, upon identifying a new active audio source, a new mapped instance is determined corresponding to the new active audio source.

1-23. (canceled)
A system for mediating an audio source for a meeting on a communications and collaboration platform, the system comprising:
- an audio source detection module configured to identify at least one active audio source;
- an instance detection module configured to map the at least one active audio source to one or more instances connected to the communications and collaboration platform to determine a mapped instance;
- and
- an audio control module configured to:
- determine at least one audio signal device from a plurality of devices to capture audio from the active audio source;
- and
- configure an audio system to manipulate an active audio signal from the audio signal device via the mapped instance.
A method for mediating an audio source for a meeting on a communications and collaboration platform, the method comprising:
- identifying at least one active audio source;
- mapping the active audio source to one or more instances connected to the communications and collaboration platform to determine a mapped instance;
- determining at least one audio signal device from a plurality of devices for the active audio source;
- configuring an audio system to manipulate an active audio signal from the audio signal device via the mapped instance.
An electronic meeting tool for mediating an audio source for a meeting on a communications and collaboration platform, the tool comprising:
- one or more peripheral devices adapted to couple one or more user devices to the communications and collaboration platform,
- wherein the peripheral devices are further configured to:
- receive sensing data from an audio device;
- manipulate the sensing data;
- and
- sending the sensing data to a base unit to determine the audio source.
