Abstract: A computer implemented method, device, and computer program product are provided for monitoring audio/video (A/V) content. During an A/V communications session between a user and a recipient, the method, device and computer program product receive, from a wireless source, A/V content for the user. The A/V content has a baseline quality for at least a portion of the AV communications session. A quality characteristic of interest (COI) associated with the A/V content is monitored. Event-induced signal (EIS) degradation is identified when the quality COI drops below the baseline quality at least one of i) by a predetermined amount or ii) within an event interval. In real-time during the AV communications session, a notification is generated. The notification indicates that the quality COI for the A/V content has degraded.
