Modified on Thu, 18 Jan 2024 at 01:09 PM

To create a new conference, go to the "Virtual PBX" section >> "Settings" tab >> left menu "Dial plan" >> "Conferences" and click on the "Add" button.

The following parameters are set for the conference:

Number - the internal number that participants dial to join the conference.
Conference language - the language of notifications in the conference (e.g., when a participant joins or leaves).
Name - a clear name for the conference.
User PIN - the PIN code entered by a user to enter the conference.
Admin PIN - the PIN code entered by an administrator to enter the conference.
Record calls - check this box to record all conference calls made to the internal number specified in the "Number" field.
Announce user count - check this box to inform new conference participants about the number of current participants.
Play music while on hold - check this box to play music to participants waiting for the conference to start (the conference will not start until an administrator joins if the "Wait for admin to connect" box is checked, otherwise, it starts immediately).
End conference after admin disconnects - check this box to automatically end the conference when the administrator disconnects.
Disable user notifications - check this box if you need to permanently or temporarily stop playing audio messages to conference participants.
Wait for admin to connect - with this box checked, participants must wait for the administrator to join before the conference starts; without it checked, any participant can start the conference.
Max member count - specify the maximum allowed number of conference participants. When this number is reached, new participants will not be able to join the conference.
Conference announcement - select a voice message from the dropdown list to be played when calling the conference number. The list contains audio files from the "Virtual PBX" >> "Audio files" >> "Voice prompts" section. See "Voice prompts".
