[asterisk-users] Asterisk conferencing features

[Rosli Sukri]

something like this in da dialplan

exten => 0078,1,Answer()
exten => 0078,2,Wait(2)
exten => 0078,3,MeetMe(0078,idpMs)
exten => 0078,4,Hangup()

notes:
- change 0078 to your incoming no,
- so when you want to do the conference, just dial the defined extension number
- or you can do a blind tranfer to the room (i.e invite)

also conferencing feature is also doable on the phone, check out
phones from SNOM and xlite
