Original Abstract Submitted

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.
