Abstract
System and method to manage bandwidth used by an endpoint of a communication session, the method including: detecting, by a sensor coupled to a communication system transporting the communication session, an indicia of a user; inferring, by a processor of the communication system transporting the communication session, a first involvement by the user in the communication session, wherein inferring is based upon the detected indicia of the user; and modifying, by the communication system transporting the communication session, a bandwidth of the communication session based upon the first inferred involvement by the user.
