Private Communication in a Teleconference

The present disclosure is directed to a computer-implemented method for enabling private communications during a videoconference. The method includes receiving interface data associated with input from a first participant to a first participant device associated with the first participant and participating in the videoconference. The interface data includes requesting limiting transmission of communication data to a second participant device associated with a second participant and participating in the videoconference while excluding transmission of the communication data to third participant device(s) participating in the videoconference. The method includes obtaining the communication data associated with the first participant including audio data associated with the first participant. The method includes causing transmission of the communication data associated with the first participant to the second participant device for surfacing of the communication data on the second participant device but not the third participant device(s) participating in the videoconference.
