Of course ... (it is late at night in Norway right now)

Isn't it always night during January in Norway?
|
|
|
|

As of today, I would call it full daylight from around 08:00 to around 16:00. That is in middle Norway, at 63°N. Norway spans from roughly 58 to 71 degrees, so it varies greatly. We do not have midnight sun in summer where I live! (That is only north of 66°33'N.)
One significant difference from places further south: We have extremely long dawn and evening hours (the plural 's' in 'hours' is significant!). So you can never really tell the exact start and end of the day. You can of course go by sunrise/sunset, but it is light long before and long after, enough to read the newspaper without using artificial light. (Newspaper, that is! News webpages are readable even in pitch darkness .)

Ignore the critics, you still write better (and clearer) English than most native speakers.

I wrote that message at 02:00 at night; I wasn't completely awake.

I know a programmer who just loves exclamation marks.
He'd used to do things like: MessageBox.Show("An error occurred!!!")
Very unprofessional.

I used to add exclamation marks in error logs to quickly analyze them with BareTail One exclamation mark would trigger the highlighting in yellow, two highlight in red, [OK] in green.

...and then there's the meme where someone will actually spell out "one" in the middle of one of those, as if it could happen by accident.
OMG!!!!1!!one!!

Wasn't there a Seinfeld episode involving exclamation points?

Where? I will hunt that exclamation down like a dog

The button for submitting a solution to a Q/A question. Go git 'em!

Done. And the magic of Git allows me to cast a dirty look in the appropriate direction (even though it's been starting me in the face for 10 years now, so I do have to share the blame)

One small step for a man...

I want the ability to change the volume for specific people. not mute them per se. but to change their volume coming thru.
I just had a meeting where one person had a very high voice that was quite loud and another person had a low voice that was quite soft. I really wanted to turn ones volume down and ones up.

I installed the local version of Teams a couple of months ago and so far, haven't figure out how to get to do anything other than advise me that I must run the web version.
The individual volume control thing sounds like a good idea. I can mute mine, why can't I mute theirs?

Technically, it is easy to understand why you can't: You receive a single, mixed sound stream. For you to adjust the volume of each individual speaker, you would have to receive each speaker an individual sound stream, and mix them in your PC.
I have been in web meetings with way above a hundred participants, almost all of them passively listening/watching, but they could all unmute themselves. Meetings with 30-50 participants is quite common. These systems are not designed for distributing 30-50, or 100+, sound channels to every participant. It would probably be resource consuming: If 100 participants should receive the sound from the 99 others as individual channels, the central switch would have to manage 9,900 sound channels.
An alternative implementation: You receive a single sound channel, but it is adapted to your preferences. You can send commands to the central switch for it to reduce the volume of a single participant in the mix you receive. That would require the central switch to manage 100 mixers of 100 inputs each (for a 100 participant meeting). I guess that would be even more resource demanding on the central switch.
So I doubt very much that your request will be honored in the next software update.

Would it be possible for the client side software to demultiplex the incoming sound based on loudness, pitch, tone, frequency, etc., and attenuate/enhance the loudness of the one selected by user?
Looks like it will then need a new UI showing the list of demultiplexed sounds, as it will not perhaps be able to correlate speaker A video with speaker A audio.

But that assumes mixing at the recipient end. Somewhere in the middle is where the mixing of all audio "senders" occurs. Why not allow unique, by recipient IP say, mixing. That would then only require sending unique audio, already mixed as per each recipient's needs, which really is what's happening anyways but of course currently without the custom mixing by the middle layer.)
|

|

That is the option where, for a 100-participant meeting, the central switch must maintain one hundred 100-input mixers. I do not think that is technically viable.
