Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving audio input during an audio-video communication session. The audio input is generated by a first sound source within an environment and a second sound source within the environment. The method includes receiving video input depicting the first sound source and the second sound source in the environment. The method includes identifying the first sound source and the second sound source using the audio input and the video input. The method includes predicting a first engagement metric for the first sound source and a second engagement metric for the second sound source based on the identifying. The method includes processing the audio input to generate an audio output signal based on a comparison of the first engagement metric and the second engagement metric. The method includes providing the audio output signal to a computing device associated with the audio-video communication session.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes accessing input data from one or more different input sources. The input sources include: one or more cameras, one or more microphones, and a social graph maintained by a social-networking system. Based on the input data, generating a current descriptive model for a current audio-video communication session that comprises one or more descriptive characteristics about (1) an environment associated with the current audio-video communication session, (2) one or more people within the environment, or (3) one or more contextual elements associated with the current audio-video communication session. The method also includes generating one or more instructions for the current audio-video communication session that are based the one or more descriptive characteristics; and sending the one or more instructions to a computing device associated with the one or more cameras and the one or more microphones.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving audio input data from a microphone array of at least two microphones. The audio input data is generated by a first sound source at a first location and a second sound source at a second location. The method also includes calculating a first engagement metric for the first sound source and a second engagement metric for the second sound source. The first engagement metric approximates an interest level of a receiving user for the first sound source, and the second engagement metric approximates an interest level from the receiving user for the second sound source. The method also includes determining that the first engagement metric is greater than the second engagement metric, and processing the audio input data to generate an audio output signal. The audio output signal may amplify sound generated by the first sound source relative to the second sound source.
