Michael D Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 What is the maximum number of ad hoc conference participants that can be added to 1 conference on the 2600hz hosted platform? I have tested on the Polycom IP550 and yealink T22P, max was myself, aand 2 others (3) MD
Rally IP Admin Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 I think we had about 20 people one time.
Michael D Posted May 21, 2015 Author Report Posted May 21, 2015 On Ad Hoc? (not conference Bridge) If so, did you have to configure anything special on the phone config? MD
Karl Stallknecht Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 What's ad hoc versus conference bridge?
Karl Stallknecht Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 Oh wait, do you mean like trying to use a physical phone to do the actual conferencing? (i.e. 3+ way call)
Michael D Posted May 21, 2015 Author Report Posted May 21, 2015 @ Karl, exactly , call number, conf, call number , conf Manually, through phone
Rally IP Admin Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 Sorry. If it's the conf on the phone, it depends on the phone. Grandstream 22xx support up to 6. Polycom =3.
Michael D Posted May 21, 2015 Author Report Posted May 21, 2015 RIA, I advise using a conf brideg in general, but some users love piling up participants (why? so when they get disconnected , you have to disrupt the whole call to add them back in?) Never worked with Grandstream, good to know they can do 6 adhoc. Polycom claims they can do up to 4 on a sounpoint IP550 http://community.polycom.com/t5/VoIP/... thanks for the feedback
Michael D Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Posted May 26, 2015 2600hz, can you please provide an official response ?
2600Hz Employees Katie Orton Posted May 27, 2015 2600Hz Employees Report Posted May 27, 2015 Hi Mike, I believe this is a phone feature, not a Kazoo feature. Kazoo allows unlimited participants to conference bridges, so it depends on the type of phone being used.
Michael D Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Posted May 28, 2015 Hi Katie, The question is regarding how many participants can be stacked manually on a phone (dial number, hit conference, dial number , hit conference, dial number , hit conference Thanks
Administrators Darren Schreiber Posted May 28, 2015 Administrators Report Posted May 28, 2015 Hi Michael, Katie has correctly answered this question. It's dependent on the manufacturer and the model of the phone. You would find this answer in each phone's documentation, and it varies per phone (though most phones it's you and two other parties max). In scenarios where the phone itself is creating the conference, the audio mixing is actually done inside the phone itself, not in our service. Therefore, the limitation is based on the phone's capabilities.
Michael D Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Posted May 28, 2015 Darren, I'm just curious if there is somewhere in either the advanced provisioner that sets the Polycom IP550 to 3 parties max. Polycom says they can have 4 . http://community.polycom.com/t5/VoIP/... By the way, adding manual participants beyond 3 is rare now, since most people figure out using the conference bridge is much better for multiple reasons Stick a fork in this thread. Thanks Katie, Darren MD
