[asterisk-users] Conf into a call in progress

[Michael]

Hi Aldo,

Thank you very much for answering my question.

Can you kindly elaborate on how to do the following or at least where to
read about the way to do it?
>send both channels of the active call 111 - 22334455 to a context that
joins them in a conference room.

>through AMI, I would originate the call to 22556677 and join it into the
conference.

Thank you very much,

Michael
