Conferences with Asterisk and FreePBX

2nd May 2009, 06:31 pm

Conference calls are used a lot by businesses and are a built-in feature of Asterisk and FreePBX (and therefore the distributions that rely on these – Trixbox, Elastix, PBX-in-a-flash …)

They are very easy to setup -

FreePBX conferences

All you need to do is give it a conference number (which is just the same as an extension number) and a conference name, and that’s it. You can change the other settings as required such as having music on hold or a message when users join the conference. You can put a password/pin on the conference which is probably a good idea.

Once you save your conference you will be able to dial it from an internal extension or use it as a destination for an Inbound Route or IVR

I’ve seen reports of people having over 20 callers in a conference which is probably more than most poeple could ever need!

    Hi Umesh,

    It is in that version. You probably just need to go to Tools/Modules/Check for updates – and install the conference module.
