In an example, a conference participant may not be initially recognized upon entering conference environment 100, and computerized intelligent assistant 1300 may prompt the local participant to expressly provide further identifying information, e.g., by asking the local participant to provide a name. In some examples, when a local participant is recognized, computerized intelligent assistant 1300 may further prompt the local participant to register an identify to facilitate future recognition. Such prompting may include any suitable notification, e.g., a prompt at a companion device, and/or a question posed by computerized intelligent assistant 1300 via speech audio. Identifying information of a conference participant may include personal and/or sensitive data such as photos, voice audio samples, etc. Accordingly, prompting the local participant can include expressly informing the local participant as to specifically what identifying information is being stored for future use, and/or specifically how such identifying information may be used. In some examples, an image or audio clip of a guest user captured by computerized intelligent assistant may be associated with a “guest” identity and shared with other conference participants, who may positively identify the guest based on the image or audio clip. After sufficient information is available to identify a local participant, any guest identity associated with the local participant may be replaced and/or updated with a recognized identity.
