[Freeswitch-users] Group calls

[Jerry Kendall]

Hi There & Happy New Year.....

I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction....

I need to have a video call from a door phone/intercom go to a group of devices and present the preview video where the target phones show the preview video *before* the call is answered.
- there are 2 strategies....

1) use bridge with ',' or Enterprise Orig... This works mostly, BUT the android video phones are responding with '183 Progress...'
when this happens, the first device to reply with 183 is considered answered and all others are cancelled... The 183 does not mean a person is sitting at the phone.
So, is there a way to tell FS to NOT accept 183 as 'answered' so that all devices continue to ring?

2) use a dial plan conference call with the group of target phones set as 'conference_set_auto_outcall' and this works, mostly...
The approach does send the preview video to all target devices and the 'person' gets to pick which device to answer on.
The issue here is that all other devices continue to ring waiting for the conference members to answer...
So, is there a way to cancel the other invites once the 'person' answers the first device?

Thanks,
Jerry
