Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for tracking engagement of participants in a presentation. An example system implementing the method can identify a presenter in a conference and participants in the conference. Then the system can gather, during a presentation by the presenter in the conference, engagement data about the participants. The system can generate or calculate an engagement score based on the engagement data, and present the engagement score to the presenter during the presentation. The system can gather the engagement data from participant devices through which the participants are accessing the presentation or from other participant devices not directly involved with the presentation. The engagement data can include participant voice activity in the conference, participant voice activity with others outside of the conference, participant audio data, participant video data, participant mute status, participant interactions with other applications, participant interactions with computing devices and participant multi-tasking.
