Abstract: Embodiments provide a system, method, apparatus, means, and computer program code for identifying a speaker participating in a conference. During the conference or collaboration event, users may participate in the conference via user or client devices (e.g., computers) that are connected to or in communication with a server or collaboration system. A person participating in and/or moderating a conference may want to know which of the other participants is speaking at any give time, both for those participants that have a unique channel to the conference (e.g., a single participant participating in the conference via a single telephone or other connection) as well as participants that are aggregated behind a single channel to the conference (e.g., three participants in a conference room with a single telephone line or other connection to the conference).
