[Freeswitch-users] link video from one call to the audio of another in a conference

[Hristo Trendev]

Sorry, I should have explained, what I've tried already.

The conference is configured to display non-video members as avatars.

Muting the audio of the webcam is the first thing that comes to mind.
However as soon as the conference detects audio from the Soundstation (or
any other member for that matter) it switches the floor and as a result the
webcam video is immediately replaced with the avatar of the Soundstation.

I also tried to force the floor, but then it stays so and it is not
possible for someone else to take the floor, or if I take the "force" away,
the Soundstation immediately gets the floor and the video is again replaced
with an avatar.

Best regards,
Hristo
