Abstract
A method for alerting a participant in a conference call that the participant is speaking with insufficient volume is disclosed. The method includes determining that someone in a conference call between multiple endpoints is speaking with insufficient volume. The method further includes determining an active participant in the conference call, the active participants based on who is speaking or has spoken within a predetermined time interval and selectively communicating a speak-louder message to the active participant.
