6.25. meetme.conf

The file is located in the /etc/asterisk/ directory.

Meetme is used for conference calls. In this configuration file a conference room that you want to use has to be declared.

This configuration file is read every time you call app meetme() and Asterisk should not be restarted or reloaded in order to see the changes made in this configuration file.

[rooms]
;Context where conference rooms have to be declared.

Syntax is like: conf => confno[,pin][,adminpin].

conf is declaration for conference room.
confno is number for the conference room – dial this number to enter the room.
pin is optional pin number to authenticate when entering the conference room.
adminpin is optional pin for administrating the conference.


Example:
conf => 1357
;This will create conference room 1357 open for everybody who can enter the context in the dialplan it will be accessible.
conf => 1111,9938
;This is conference room 1111 with pasword for authentication at log in 9938. No admin password.
conf => 2222,1821,191871
;This room number 2222 prompts for password on login 1821 and password for administration 191871.

In the dialplan the application looks like MeetMe(confno, [options]) where the available options are one or more of the following (do not use separator if you need more than one option):

'm' -- set monitor only mode (user can only hear the audio, not participate)
'p' -- allow user to exit the conference by pressing '#'
't' -- set talk only mode, user won't be able to hear
'v' -- video mode
'q' -- quiet mode (don't play enter/leave sounds)
'd' -- dynamically add conference
'M' -- enable music on hold when the conference has a single caller
'b' -- run AGI script specified in ${MEETME_AGI_BACKGROUND}.
Default is conf-background.agi (Zap channels only, does not work with non-Zap channels in the same conference)

Note: In order to have a working MeetMe conference you need a timing source (ztdummy).

Hello i have following setup

exten => confno,1,MeetMe(1234|MX|1234)
exten => confno,2,Hangup()

exten => 1,1,MeetMeAdmin(1234|N)
exten => 2,1,MeetMeAdmin(1234|n)
exten => 3,1,MeetMeAdmin(1234|K)

above 3 dtmf's working fine for the overall conference functionality management

The below is created to Mute a user
who entered first in to conference

exten => 4,1,MeetMeAdmin(1234|M|1)

The below is created to UnMute user
who entered first in to conference

exten => 5,1,MeetMeAdmin(1234|m|1)

The below is created to kick out user
who entered first into conference

exten => 6,1,MeetMeAdmin(1234|k|1)

the third argument is the usernumber as they
entered into the confrence

first enter number=1
2nd enter number=2

last enter number =n.

but to kick a specific user using MeetMeAdmin
i need to pass this usernum variable which
i was unable to do as i have only 9 dtmf allowed and can anybody help me out finding how to send this usernumber dynamically ????

thanks in advance
regards

I have a problem.. I had already configured asterisk with meetme and everything was working fine until yesterday when I tried to make a conference but i get no audio... I have my conference configured so it prompts for a password dependeing on the room number and although i get no voice when i dial a conference number it appears to be executing the dialplan.... any ideas why the audio may be failing?... pd: it isn't the soundcarr

The ztdummy module does work, if you are trying to create a conference call, using SIP. Now, I am trying to use the option "w- wait until marked user enters the conference." How do you set a user to be "marked"?

Added conf => 888 to meetme_additional.conf and although the system knows that conf room 888 is present, it hangs up on me.
