1. A communication system-implemented method comprising: operating at least one communication device including at least communicating, via synchronous communication, at least one of audio information or video information between at least one local environment and at least one remote environment; sensing at least one of audible or visual local environment information in the at least one local environment; obtaining remote environment information including one or more of at least one identifier of at least one participant in the at least one synchronous communication in the remote environment or at least one contextual aspect of the remote environment; identifying at least one cue occurring in at least one of the at least one local environment or the at least one remote environment, wherein the at least one cue includes at least one manipulation of at least one communication device including at least one of opening of the at least one communication device, closing of the at least one communication device, deforming a flexible surface of the at least one communication device, or altering an orientation of the at least one communication device; determining one or more filter rules based at least partly on the at least one of audible or visual local environment information and the remote environment information responsive to the at least one cue; and filtering, using one or more processing components, at least one portion of synchronously communicated at least one of audio information or video information according to the one or more filter rules responsive to the at least one cue.
