[Freeswitch-users] Setting up Conference with Moderator

Thu Nov 5 06:52:05 PST 2009

Hi UK,

 From what I've done and read, the caller-controls (in  
conference.conf.xml) can be modified to almost anything you can think  
of, BUT, they are mapped 1-to-1 to a conference- ie you can't map a  
caller control just for those with the moderator flag.  So unless you  
want everyone able to mute/kick everyone then you can't do it.

The wiki seems to indicate this as well:

"Be aware that the caller-controls are applied across the entire  
conference. You cannot enter one member of the conference using caller- 
controls ABC and then enter a second member using caller-controls XYZ."

http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_conference

I think this might be a limitation of mod_conference.  Perhaps one of  
the pros can chime in if I'm off-base or there's some nifty way to  
accomplish this.

Cheers,
Rob
