DETECT AND FACILITATE REPLAY OF MUTED VIDEOCONFERENCE PARTICIPANT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240248674 titled 'DETECT AND FACILITATE REPLAY OF MUTED VIDEOCONFERENCE PARTICIPANT

The abstract describes a method, computer system, and computer program product for muted participant replay in a web conference setting. When a user is muted while speaking to other participants, the system captures audio from the user's microphone, presents a notification to the user indicating they are on mute, and prompts the user for responses. Upon receiving user responses to unmute and play the recording, the system unmutes the user's audio feed and plays the recording for the other participants.
