Hi, I'm quite new to mod_conference and I've had good success implementing Stanislav Sinyagin's conferencing solution <https://txlab.wordpress.com/2012/09/17/setting-up-a-conference-bridge-with-freeswitch/> on his blog for our freeswitch setup. This is fantastic for planned conference calls where everyone can dial into the conference line. I'm now looking to address the use case where 1 person is talking to another and suddenly needs to pull in one or two more people into the call to discuss (sort of a dynamic conferencing solution). Is this possible and what's the best way to go about achieving it? Appreciate any advice you can give me. Thanks Cody
Conferences in freeswitch are totally dynamic. It just depends how you configure your dial plan. You can transfer calls into a ad-hoc conference on the fly.

Think you want create conference as it described in section 5.4 of RFC4579 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4579#section-5.4>. If it is true then look at https://freeswitch.org/jira/browse/FS-7259 Sergey пн, 17 окт. 2016 г. в 19:38, Michael Jerris <mike@jerris.com>:

with some programming effort, you could create a Web service where the users would manage their conferences, and also dial-out to invite new parties in. It's quite straightforward to do via ESL, it only needs a good developer and a good plan for long-term support. I would love to contribute to such a project if it's an open-source effort with solid sponsorship. In a minimalist approach, you can issue an originate command from fs_cli, and it can also be easily wrapped into a simple PHP script. It would be ugly, but will do its job :-) Alternatively, you can build a simple IVR, so that the one who invites a new person, dials into the IVR, gives the destination number, then talks to the invitee, and after hangup the call is automatically bridged into the conference. So, there are tons of different scenarios :) On Mon, Oct 17, 2016 at 4:06 PM, Cody Rosenbloom <cody.rosenbloom@gmail.com> wrote:

I have a setup where you can press "#" during a call and enter the number of the person you want to invite. The advantage of the solution is that the person receiving the call: a) hears the name of the person inviting them and knows it's a conference call (Hello! Cody has invited you to join a conference call); b) has to approve the invitation by pressing a key to avoid calls conferencing with a voicemail. My solution isn't very portable on how it's been coded, so I'm not pasting stuff point blank, but happy to orient you if you are thinking of a similar outcome. Emrah
