Full definition → function, use a user profile as a template for creating a new temporary profile
  • timeout - Kick the user out of the conference after this many seconds. 0 means there is no timeout for the user.
  • text_messaging - Sets if text messages are sent to the user.

  • record_options - Pass additional options to MixMonitor when recording
  • record_command - Execute a command after recording ends
  • regcontext - The name of the contextA named section of the dialplan that groups extensions. Calls enter a specific context and can only reach extensions visible from it, making contexts the basic unit of call routing and security. into which to register the name of the conference bridge as NoOP() at priority 1

  • remb_send_interval - Sets the interval in milliseconds that a combined REMB frame will be sent to video sources
  • remb_behavior - Sets how REMB reports are generated from multiple sources
  • remb_estimated_bitrate - Sets the estimated bitrate sent to each participant in REMB reports
  • enable_events - Enables events for this bridge
  • template - When using the CONFBRIDGE dialplanThe core call-routing configuration of Asterisk, written mostly in extensions.conf as contexts, extensions, and priorities that decide how every call is handled. Full definition → function, use a bridge profile as a template for creating a new temporary profile

A conference user menu

  • type - Define this configuration category as a menu
  • template - When using the CONFBRIDGE dialplan function, use a menu profile as a template for creating a new temporary profile
  • ^[0-9A-D*#]+$ - DTMF sequences to assign various confbridge actions to

    Note

    To have the first DTMF digit in a sequence be the '#' character, you need to escape it. If it is not escaped then normal config file processing will think it is a directive like #include. For example: The mute setting is toggled when #1 is pressed.

    Note

    \#1=toggle_mute

    Note

    A single DTMF sequence can have multiple actions associated with it. This is accomplished by stringing the actions together and using a , as the delimiter. Example: Both listening and talking volume is reset when 5 is pressed. 5=reset_talking_volume, reset_listening_volume
