[Freeswitch-users] how to enable transcoding

[Michael Jerris]

We will always try to avoid transcoding the best we can, and will only transcode when required.  There is no way to enable it, as its enabled by default.  Why do you think its not working?  Make sure you have the codec modules you require loaded, and that the codecs you want to support are in the allowed codecs.
