Abstract
A method for automatically adjusting the volume of individual conference call participants during a conference call. The present invention comprises a Configuration Program (CP) and a Volume Adjustment Program (VAP). The CP allows a user to configure the automatic volume adjustment options. The VAP continuously monitors the conference call and adds new participants to a display screen as the new participants are added to the conference call. Based upon the settings that the user selected in the CP, the VAP adjusts the volume of the conference call participant when the new participant is added, adjusts the volume of each conference call participant upon the occurrence of the time interval, or continuously adjusts the volume of each conference call participant. The VAP also allows the user to manually adjust the volume of all of the participants or an individual participant using a plurality of navigation buttons.
