Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication apparatus, a communication method, a program, and a telepresence system that can perform communication more smoothly. A sound processing unit processes, in accordance with a setting for a specific sound, the sound in performing communication using a video and a voice. For example, the sound processing unit performs processing on a sound input by an input unit, and the sound processed by the sound processing unit, and the original sound input by the input unit are both transmitted. Furthermore, the sound processing unit performs processing on a sound received by a receiving unit configured to receive a sound transmitted from another communication apparatus, and causes the sound to be output from an output unit. The present technology can be applied to a telepresence system, for example.
