processing, by a natural language processor (NLP), a sentence to determine a structural representation of the sentence comprising a subject and object;
processing the structural representation of the sentence to determine whether the object of the sentence comprises an object of recognition and the subject of the sentence comprises a participant in the virtual meeting;
processing the structural representation of the sentence to determine an attention level in response to determining that the structural representation of the sentence includes the object of recognition and the subject comprises a participant in the virtual meeting; and
in response to the attention level exceeding a threshold, rendering a recognition attention effect in the virtual meeting associated with the attention level, observable by the participants of the virtual meeting, to direct attention of the participants of the virtual meeting toward the participant that is the subject of the sentence.
