The present invention utilizes pseudo-stereo for the communication of secondary information to the user of a telecommunications terminal, such as a speakerphone. In particular, the terminal utilizes a method for the presentation of secondary information to the user of the terminal in a teleconference call by adjusting the spatial properties of the monaural audio received at the user's terminal. An audio communication is modified so as to appear that the communicated audio is arriving from a particular direction in relation to the user's approximate position, wherein the direction that is assigned to the audio depends on one or more characteristics of the call participant who is originating the audio. Each characteristic of a call participant on a call can comprise, while not being limited to, the customer satisfaction of the call participant, the urgency of a need of the call participant, the group membership of the call participant, or the product ownership of the call participant.
