Abstract: According to an example embodiment, a method for audio focusing is provided, the method comprising: receiving a multi-channel audio signal that represents sounds in sound directions that correspond to respective positions in an image area of an image; receiving an indication of an audio focus direction that corresponds to a first position in the image area; selecting a primary sound direction from a plurality of different available candidate directions, wherein said plurality of different available candidate directions comprise said audio focus direction and one or more offset candidate directions and wherein each offset candidate direction corresponds to a respective candidate offset from said first position in the image area; and deriving, based on said multi-channel audio signal in dependence of the selected primary sound direction, an output audio signal where sounds in sound directions defined via the selected primary sound direction are emphasized in relation to sounds in sound directions other than those defined via the selected primary sound direction.

Abstract: Example embodiments relate to conference calls. In a method, there may be provided audio data and associated classification data from a plurality of user devices as part of a conference call, the plurality of user devices including at least a first user device and a second user device. The classification data may be indicative of one of a plurality of predetermined sound types represented by the associated audio data in a current time frame. The method may comprise determining that the audio data provided by the first user device is associated with a dominant speaker. The method may comprise controlling transmission of the audio data as part of the conference call, including preventing transmission of audio data provided by at least the second user device based on its associated classification data being indicative of a restricted sound type and the first user device being associated with a dominant speaker.
