Conference rooms

IvozProvider supports Conference rooms that can be configured in the section Client configuration > Conference rooms.

In distributed installations using Conferences is only compatible with an static assignment or ‘hash based’ distribution (see Distribute method here).

Hint

Brand operators can choose which Clients have conferences (see Features in Brand Configuration and Client Configuration).

Create a new audio conference

The following image shows the process of creating a new conference room:

Name

Name that will used to identify this conference room in other sections

Max members

Maximum number of participants in the conference. When this limit is reached, join requests will be rejected.

Announce user count

First member or always. Play a locution when joining a conference telling how many users there are already participating. Options are: only to the first member of the conference or anybody joining.

Pin protected

Conference rooms can be pin protected. The pin will be requested before entering and must be numeric.

Note

Member limit can be disabled by setting it to 0.

Route an extension or DDI to the conference

In order to enter a conference there must be a number that is route to them:

In the following section we will see how to configure a external DDI to a conference room so it can be used by external callers.

Hint

There are other ways to make external callers join a conference room without using a DDI: it can be assigned to an Extension. This way, any user can transfer the call to the conference extension, or can be routed, for example using an IVR entry.
