Abstract

A computer implemented method manages participation in a teleconference. Teleconference inputs from participants of a teleconference are monitored for use of an unrelated term, which is a term that has been deemed unrelated to a topic of the teleconference. Upon determining that an errant participant is using the unrelated term in at least one of the teleconference inputs, an alert is generated to prompt the errant participant to limit future teleconference inputs to the topic of the teleconference.
