MeetMe([confno,options,pin])
Dialplan Builder -- build your MeetMe() command
The conference number
Set marked mode.
Continue in dialplan when kicked out of conference.
Dynamically add conference, prompting for a PIN.
Select an empty pinless conference.
Pass DTMF through the conference.
Play an intro announcement in conference.
Announce user join/leave without review.
Limit the conference to *x* ms. Play a warning when *y* ms are left. Repeat the warning every *z* ms. The following special variables can be used with this option:
Enable music on hold when the conference has a single caller. Optionally, specify a musiconhold class to use. If one is not provided, it will use the channel's currently set music class, or `default`.
Always prompt for the pin even if it is specified.
Kick the user *x* seconds **after** he entered into the conference.
Set talker detection (sent to manager interface and meetme list).
Allow user to exit the conference by entering a valid single digit extension **MEETME_EXIT_CONTEXT** or the current context if that variable is not defined.
Set admin mode.
Run AGI script specified in **MEETME_AGI_BACKGROUND** Default: `conf-background.agi`.
Announce user(s) count on joining a conference.
Dynamically add conference.
Select an empty conference.
Announce user join/leave with review.
Close the conference if there's only one active participant left at exit.
Set listen only mode (Listen only, no talking).
Set initially muted.
Disable the denoiser. By default, if `func_speex` is loaded, Asterisk will apply a denoiser to channels in the MeetMe conference. However, channel drivers that present audio with a varying rate will experience degraded performance with a denoiser attached. This parameter allows a channel joining the conference to choose not to have a denoiser attached without having to unload `func_speex`.
Set talker optimization - treats talkers who aren't speaking as being muted, meaning (a) No encode is done on transmission and (b) Received audio that is not registered as talking is omitted causing no buildup in background noise.
Allow user to exit the conference by pressing `#` (default) or any of the defined keys. Dial plan execution will continue at the next priority following MeetMe. The key used is set to channel variable **MEETME_EXIT_KEY**.
Quiet mode (don't play enter/leave sounds).
Record conference (records as **MEETME_RECORDINGFILE** using format **MEETME_RECORDINGFORMAT**. Default filename is `meetme-conf-rec-${CONFNO}-${UNIQUEID}` and the default format is wav.
Present menu (user or admin) when `*` is received (send to menu).
Set talk only mode. (Talk only, no listening).
Announce when a user is joining or leaving the conference. Use the voicemail greeting as the announcement. If the i or I options are set, the application will fall back to them if no voicemail greeting can be found.
Wait until the marked user enters the conference.
Leave the conference when the last marked user leaves.
