Examples of techniques for enhanced teleconferencing are disclosed. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method includes monitoring, by a processing device, a teleconference having a plurality of participants, a plurality of participant devices being used to facilitate the teleconference, each of the plurality of participants being associated with one of the plurality of participant devices. The method further includes detecting, by the processing device, a low volume of a channel associated with one of the plurality of participant devices. The method further includes, responsive to detecting the low volume associated with the one of the plurality of participants, amplifying, by the processing device, the channel to increase volume without amplifying other channels associated with other of the plurality of participant devices.
