Claim 14:
15. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
joining, by a first computing device, a conference call;
detecting, by a microphone of the first computing device, an absence of an audio signal that includes a control signal;
emitting, by a speaker of the first computing device, an audio signal that includes a control signal associated with the first computing device and indicating that the first computing device is a primary device of an audio environment associated with the conference call;
joining, by a second computing device, the conference call;
detecting, by a microphone of the second computing device, the audio signal that includes the control signal associated with the first computing device;
determining, based at least in part on the control signal associated with the first computing device, that the second computing device shares the audio environment with the primary device; and
based at least in part on determining that the second computing device shares the audio environment with the primary device, modifying an audio path of the conference call.
