A computer implemented method and a computer program product for prioritizing a participant in a teleconference are provided. Participants in a teleconference are prioritized in order to manage the participants currently speaking and participants wanting to interrupt. A participant has an individual or a group priority level associated with the participant, which is communicated to a teleconference system. When the participant indicates a desire to interrupt a currently speaking participant, the teleconference system compares the priorities of the participant and the currently speaking participant. If the participant has the priority necessary for the interruption, the teleconference system grants the participant an ability to interrupt the teleconference. Using this ability, the participant can interrupt a currently speaking participant who has a lower priority than that of the participant, interrupt a currently speaking participant with higher priority under certain circumstances, or become an exclusive speaker for a duration or a topic.
