Abstract A system and method for reducing audio feedback, and in particular 'howling', during a communication session involving two or more computing devices. The system determines that a first device is likely to join a meeting in which another, second device is already joined. In response, the system can cause the second device to broadcast a signal that, if detected by the first device, will indicate that the two devices are in auditory range of one another, namely collocated. As a result, the system can preemptively mute the audio components of the first device to prevent an audio stream of the first device from interfering with the audio already streaming via the second device. L'invention concerne un système et un procédé de réduction de rétroaction audio, et en particulier de l'effet Larsen, durant une session de communication impliquant deux dispositifs informatiques ou plus. Le système détermine qu'un premier dispositif est susceptible de rejoindre une réunion à laquelle un autre, deuxième dispositif participe déjà. En réponse, le système peut amener le deuxième dispositif à diffuser un signal qui, si détecté par le premier dispositif, indique que les deux dispositifs sont à la portée auditive l'un de l'autre, à savoir colocalisés. Par conséquent, le système peut couper de manière préventive les composants audio du premier dispositif pour empêcher un flux audio du premier dispositif d'interférer avec le flux audio déjà en transit du deuxième dispositif.
