Methods and devices for causing a communications session between a first device and a second device to end based on lack of speech activity are described herein. In some embodiments, non-speech may be detected for both the first device and the second device. If the non-speech associated with the first device is determined to occur at a substantially same time as the non-speech associated with the second device, then this may indicate that no individuals are talking within earshot of their respective devices. Furthermore, the non-speech detected by the first device and the non-speech detected by the second device may both be of an amount of time that is greater than a predefined temporal threshold. If so, then the communications session may be caused to end because speech activity has not been detected by either device for more than the predefined temporal threshold.
