    Abstract: A method including enabling a first user having a first user device to communicate with one or more second users having one or more second user devices via a network, wherein each user has a spatial position within a virtual space, such that, for each user within the virtual space, all other users within the virtual space have a relative spatial position; providing spatial audio data from the first user device to the one or more second user devices and receiving spatial audio data at the first user device from the one or more second user devices, such that each user is provided with audio from the other users in the respective relative spatial positions of the other users; and enabling a third user having a third user device to communicate with the first user and the one or more second users via the first user device.

    Abstract: According to an example embodiment, a technique for spatial audio processing on basis of two or more input audio signals that represent an audio scene and at least one further input audio signal that represents at least part of the audio scene is provided, the technique including identifying a portion of interest (POI) in the audio scene; processing the two or more input audio signals into a spatial audio signal where the POI in the audio scene is suppressed; generating, on basis of the at least one further input audio signal, a complementary audio signal that represents the POI in the audio scene; and combining the complementary audio signal with the spatial audio signal to create a reconstructed spatial audio signal.

    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed, configured to receive, from first and second spatial audio capture apparatuses, respective first and second composite audio signals comprising components derived from one or more sound sources in a capture space. The apparatus is further configured to identify a position of a user device corresponding to one of first and second areas respectively associated with the positions of the first and second spatial audio capture apparatuses, and to render audio representing the one or more sound sources to the user device, the rendering being performed differently dependent on, for the spatial audio capture apparatus associated with the identified first or second area, whether or not individual audio signals from each of the one or more sound sources can be successfully separated from its composite signal.
