Mattia Posted April 12, 2018 Report Posted April 12, 2018 Hello guys, I'm trying to understand more from conferences. I see that you can enter using a moderator pin and, if you do it, you will be a moderator in that conference (member_type = 'moderator' on conference_channel_vars). Ok, so: what can a moderator do? and how? I saw API for mute/kick and so on but that are not limited to moderators (I should use API restriction in that case or something similiar...) Is there the possibility to kick/mute/deaf/... someone through DTMF if I am moderator? And also can a non-moderator do these actions? Thanks in advance P.S. I'm using Kazoo 4.0
Administrators mc_ Posted April 12, 2018 Administrators Report Posted April 12, 2018 You have the idea that a member can affect their own settings while a moderator can affect others. You can also set up conferences to start/end when the moderator joins/leaves.

I'm using Kazoo 4.0 Hey Mattia, There are a lot of conference options in the works! Currently, the main functionality comes from the APIs. They give a wide range of moderator options via a programmed UI to do things within conferences. We've had very good success with using them ourselves in our UI. One obstacle we are facing is, in a clustered federated environment is that during a nightmare transfer of a caller to a conference running on a different freeswitch server, some channel vars are not passed to the receiving freeswitch server, so the conference event emitted is missing some data (such as owner_id for an on-nat call). We are currently working with 2600 and the freeswitch team to resolve that. But yeah, the APIs are where the real controls come into play!

Should I check by myself if a participant is a moderator before sending the API? I have a middleware that receives request and relay to Kazoo. I thought to check if participant is a moderator (loggedo through PIN moderator) and send the request to Kazoo only if so. Is this the best way in my case or am I missing something? 11 hours ago, mc_ said: You have the idea that a member can affect their own settings while a moderator can affect others.
