Abstract
A stream server manages connections by multiple clients. The stream server receives, sends and manages streams for each client. The stream server analyzes incoming streams and maintains a database of device signatures and a database of user profiles based on the analyzed data. The stream server receives a stream from a client, analyzes the stream to identify an applicable device signature, user profile, or both, and modifies the stream. Modification of the stream may include filtering noise, placing the user in receive-only mode, ending a session for a user, adjusting metadata, etc. In addition, modification of the stream may vary based on the role or authorization of the user, or based on commands from one or more of the users.
