1. A method, comprising:

capturing, using at least one camera sensor coupled to an information handling device, an image of a location;

identifying, based upon analysis of the captured image, at least one user position in the location;

determining, using a processor, whether a beamforming setting for a microphone array is optimized for the at least one user position; and

adjusting, responsive to determining that the beamforming setting for the microphone array is not optimized for the at least one user position, the beamforming setting to an optimized beamforming setting; and

responsive to receiving, from the user, a command to revert the adjusted beamforming setting, updating a ruleset associated with the optimized beamforming setting based on the command.
