A system for reducing audio feedback comprising: one or more processors; one or more machine-readable media including instructions stored therein which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to: determine that a triggering event has occurred in connection with a first device; determine, based at least on the detection of the triggering event, that the first device is a candidate for joining an upcoming or ongoing communication session; automatically cause a second device to broadcast a first signal, the second device being joined to the communication session; receive a first indication that the first device received the first signal, thereby determining that the first device is in an auditory range of the second device; and in response to receiving the first indication and prior to the first device joining the communication session automatically cause audio signals associated with at least a first audio component of the first device to be excluded from the communication session; characterized by causing the system to: cause the first device to present, on a display of the first device, a user interface notifying an end-user of the first device of the automatic disablement of the at least first audio component, wherein the user interface includes a selectable option for re-enabling the at least first audio component. one or more processors; one or more machine-readable media including instructions stored therein which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to: determine that a triggering event has occurred in connection with a first device; determine, based at least on the detection of the triggering event, that the first device is a candidate for joining an upcoming or ongoing communication session; automatically cause a second device to broadcast a first signal, the second device being joined to the communication session; receive a first indication that the first device received the first signal, thereby determining that the first device is in an auditory range of the second device; and in response to receiving the first indication and prior to the first device joining the communication session automatically cause audio signals associated with at least a first audio component of the first device to be excluded from the communication session; characterized by causing the system to: cause the first device to present, on a display of the first device, a user interface notifying an end-user of the first device of the automatic disablement of the at least first audio component, wherein the user interface includes a selectable option for re-enabling the at least first audio component. determine that a triggering event has occurred in connection with a first device; determine, based at least on the detection of the triggering event, that the first device is a candidate for joining an upcoming or ongoing communication session; automatically cause a second device to broadcast a first signal, the second device being joined to the communication session; receive a first indication that the first device received the first signal, thereby determining that the first device is in an auditory range of the second device; and in response to receiving the first indication and prior to the first device joining the communication session automatically cause audio signals associated with at least a first audio component of the first device to be excluded from the communication session; characterized by causing the system to: cause the first device to present, on a display of the first device, a user interface notifying an end-user of the first device of the automatic disablement of the at least first audio component, wherein the user interface includes a selectable option for re-enabling the at least first audio component.
