GeekWire has found a Microsoft patent application for an “insight computer system” that would give meetings scores based on body language, facial expressions, the number of attendees and even ambient conditions like the time of day and temperature. If people are clearly distracted by their phones, for example, organizers would know a meeting was wasted even if they couldn’t read the room themselves.

The technology could apply to both virtual and in-person meetings, and would use a mix of cameras and sensors for physical gatherings. It would even predict the likelihood of a useful meeting and suggest alternative times, locations and people if a meet-up was likely to flop.

Nothing change in the Idiocracy land.

Microsoft said it will remove individual usernames from the tool. “Going forward, the communication, meeting, content collaboration, collaboration and mobility metrics in the Productivity Score will aggregate data only at the organization level, providing a clear measure of the use of key functions at the organization level,” said Microsoft 365 corporate vice president Jared Spataro. Spataro). "No one in the organization will be able to use the productivity metric to access data about how an individual user uses Microsoft 365 apps and services."

Second, Microsoft has pledged to update its user interface for measuring productivity to show that it is designed to reflect the depth of an organization’s use of certain technologies, rather than individual user behavior.
