Claim 15:
16. A system comprising:
communication circuitry configured to access a plurality of client devices; and
control circuitry configured to:
monitor voice inputs from a plurality of participants that are joined into a primary conference through their respective client devices;
identify a disagreement between a first and a second participant, from the plurality of participants, based on a first voice input from the first participant and a second voice input from the second participant, wherein identifying the disagreement comprises determining whether the second voice input negates a statement made through the first voice input;
in response to identifying the disagreement:
