Leader Wait

If leader wait is ON, the conference will not begin until the conference leader (admin user) arrives. Callers will not be able to speak to each other while waiting.

Talker Optimization

If talker optimization is ON, Asterisk treats talkers who are not speaking as being muted, meaning that no encoding is done on transmission, and that received audio that is not registered as talking is omitted. This prevents a buildup of background noise.

Talker Detection

If talker detection is ON, Asterisk will sends events on the Manager Interface identifying the channel that is talking. The talker will also be identified on the output of the meetme list CLI command.

Quiet Mode

If quiet mode is ON, callers will not hear enter/leave sounds.

User Count

If user count is ON, callers will hear how many users are present in the conference, upon joining.

User Join/Leave

If user join/leave is ON, callers who are present in the conference room will hear an announcement when other callers join or leave.

Music On Hold

If music on hold is ON, callers will hear music on hold when the conference has a single caller, or while waiting for the leader to arrive (if leader wait is enabled).

Music On Hold Class

Music (or commercial) played to a caller while they wait for the conference to start. Choose "Inherit" if you want the MoH class to remain what was selected by a previous point in the call flow, such as by an inbound route.

Allow Menu

If allow menu is ON, callers can press * to access the conference room menu. See the Conference Module User Guide for menu options.

Record Conference

If record conference is ON, the system will record the conference and save it as a sound file.

Mute on Join

If mute on join is ON, everyone will be muted when they initially join the conference. Please note that if Leader Wait is set to OFFAllow Menu must be set to ON in order for callers to be able to un-mute themselves.
