Hello,

I would like to configure the FreeSwitch Conference Call facility to enable callers to speak their name before joining a conference call and then be announced to the other participants before they join the call. Any pointers of how to do this would be much appreciated.

Sorry for the late reply. Here is a simple PoC dialplan for getting the caller's name and announcing it. Just keep in mind that you'll need to clean up all the /tmp/*-name.wav files at some point, like in a cron job.

-MC

<extension name="Record Name and schedule conf announce">

<condition field="destination_number" expression="^55(3\d\d\d)$">

<action application="answer"/>

<action application="set" data="namefile=/tmp/${uuid}-name.wav" inline="true"/>

<action application="sleep" data="1000"/>>

<action application="playback" data="voicemail/vm-record_name1.wav"/>

<action application="playback" data="tone_stream://%(1000,0,500)"/>

<action application="record" data="${namefile} 1"/>

<action application="playback" data="ivr/ivr-call_being_transferred.wav"/>

<action application="set" data="res=${sched_api +1 none conference $1-${domain} play file_string://${namefile}!conference/conf-has_joined.wav}"/>

<action application="transfer" data="$1 XML default"/>

</condition>
