Original Abstract Submitted

A method for monitoring quality of a conferencing session between a plurality of participant devices is described. One or more data streams of the conferencing session are monitored. Presenter contextual information is determined for media transmitted over the one or more data streams by a presenter device of the plurality of participant devices. A mismatch is identified between the presenter contextual information and a first participant contextual information for a first participant device of the plurality of participant devices. A mismatch notification is provided to the presenter device for an identified mismatch.
