Meeting apps typically use a communication device session during a call. It would be nice if pomotroid would listen to such events and provide an option to delay a break until the call it over.
Before looking at this deeper we should do a survey of common meeting apps to see if they actually use communication sessions. Otherwise it would be a bit pointless. I'll try to fill out the following list with ✔️/❌/❓ marks to provide an overview.
EDIT 2: I'm going to close this again as I couldn't figure out an alternative way to detect whether a meeting/call is happening or the microphone is in use.

EDIT: In fact, it seems that at least on my machine audio ducking isn't working at all. I do remember it working at some point, but could be a year ago or more. I tried the Windows SDK samples (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/coreaudio/duckingcapturesample and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/coreaudio/duckingmediaplayer#downloading-the-sample) but there seem to be no ducking events being sent/captured. This doesn't seem to be a reliable mechanism to figure out whether a meeting is happening.
