Methods, systems, and computer program products for normalizing the speaking volume of participants in meetings are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes collecting speaking volume samples from multiple participants of a group event, wherein said speaking volume samples are derived from microphones; comparing said speaking volume samples to a predetermined volume level; determining which of the microphones is being used by which of the multiple participants during the group event; automatically amplifying a broadcast volume of each audio output device during periods of audio input attributed to each microphone determined as being used by the participants attributed to a speaking volume sample that is below the predetermined volume level; and automatically reducing a broadcast volume of each audio output device during periods of audio input attributed to each microphone determined as being used by the participants attributed to a speaking volume sample that exceeds the predetermined volume level.
