[asterisk-users] 1.6.2 ConfBridge suggestion

[Steve Johnson]

A very nice feature of another conferencing system that I've used is
that the admin/moderator can press a star code to MUTE ALL OTHER USERS
on the conference.

This is great if you have several people on the call and one of the
people puts the call on hold (and so the music/advertisement/your call
is important/etc) message starts, or someone's cellphone handsfree
unit in their car is making a bunch of noise, or someone's endpoint
starts creating acoustic echo.

To minimize disruption on the call, the admin should be able to press
(*5) and this would mute all other users, and then he/she would just
tell the participants that they can unmute their microphone by
pressing *1.

Just a suggestion for whoever is involved with evolving the ConfBridge app.

Regards!
