Depending on your technical bench, OV may be a serious consideration for you.

I've looked at implementing customization to Zoom. While the brand and penetration is high, that company has not done a good job at making product interactions accessible.

Doing live analytics means having realtime access to the audio and video streams of the participants. That should be readily exposed by the conferencing solution's API and demonstrated with documentation in an SDK.

These are things OpenVidu has now, and you can do this with the free and open source version.

I'm not affiliated with OV, I have implemented it though and while it is not turn-key it is just at the right level of abstraction and maturation to be ready for a B2B product that does this analytics.

You would need a technical person to do it, and you'd have to either pick up a pre-built SaaS project on top of a web framework or build up your own. But that's the "easy" part.
