[Freeswitch-users] Best way to create a one to many 'broadcast'

[Andy Ayers]

Hi Michael,

 

Apologies for the confusion there will only ever be a single audio source,
is the conference still the best way or can the other callers eavesdrop
somehow on the main call?

 

Many thanks for your help

Andy

What are the conditions under which some will participate? Will there be a
defined subset of callers who can participate and another subset who will be
listen only? I don't see how you can avoid using a conference if more than
one audio source will be used and multiple other endpoints will be
listening.

Hi Alec,

Yes sometimes, hence the challenge.

Sounds like you want to just use SHOUTcast directly, without using
FreeSwitch.

Will there be anyone participating in the conference call?
