Original Abstract Submitted

in one aspect, a first device includes at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. the storage includes instructions executable by the at least one processor to receive first input from a first microphone and to receive second input from a second, different microphone. the instructions are also executable to, based on one or more identified audio characteristics of the first and second inputs, select one of the first and second microphones as an operative microphone from which third input of a person speaking is provided to a second device as part of an audio conference. the instructions are then executable to provide the third input of the person speaking to the second device as part of the audio conference.
