Abstract
A mobile computing device is provided. The device includes a memory, a sensor, and at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to determine an occurrence of one or more gestures, based on data provided by the sensors, which are indicative of an orientation of the device. The gestures include turning the device face-down or face-up. The at least one processor is further configured to interpret the gestures in response to the determination and adjust a setting for use by an application (e.g., a collaboration application) based on the interpretation. The setting is associated with a privacy mode. A privacy mode on-state setting is associated with muting the microphones of the device and disabling the video transmission from the camera of the device. A privacy mode off-state setting is associated with unmuting the microphones of the device and enabling the video transmission from the camera of the device.
