ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a system and method for background noise reduction and performance improvement in conferencing. A method for providing a conferencing session may include receiving inputs from a number of participants in a conferencing session. A number of prominent inputs are determined from the received inputs and the determined prominent inputs are combined into a first output stream. The output stream is suitable for being sent to at least one participant of the number of participants in the conferencing session.
