==Original Abstract Submitted==

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for presenting change of presence sounds within a virtual working environment. The program and method provide for receiving, from a first client device of a first participant of a group of participants within a virtual working environment, interaction data relating to the first participant being present at the first client device, the group of participants having been selected from among plural participants of the virtual working environment; determining a change in presence of the first participant with respect to the first client device; generating, in response to the determining, a sound corresponding to the change in presence; and providing the generated sound to one or more second client devices of respective one or more second participants of the group of participants, for presentation on the one or more second client devices.
