Speaker recognition and turn transfer As part of our data collection, we gathered recordings of the use of multiparty audio-visual connections both at EuroPARC and the Xerox Video Conferencing facility at Welwyn Garden City. Analysis of these materials reveals that participants are relatively insensitive to much of each other's visual conduct, and yet the video channel does seem critical to the organisation and flow of the meetings the systems support. The key contribution of video within these multi-party interactions appears to be the way in 38 DISEMBODIED CONDUCT which it provides participants with the ability to recognise who is speaking and to coordinate speaker change systematically.
