Introducing New Conferencing Features

14, Nov 2019

Great news — Telnyx now has a suite of conferencing features that will make it easier than ever to embed feature-rich audio conferencing into your applications. Connect people and teams wherever they are in the world with granular, real-time control over your audio conferencing.

The Telnyx Call Control API now includes these new conferencing features to manage conferences and participants:

  • Configurable behavior to play sounds when new participants join or leave
  • Specify hosts that control global conference behavior
  • Decide if participants should automatically be put on hold when joining
  • Choose participants to place on mute when joining
  • Define a length of time after which the conference automatically ends
  • Once a conference ends, get specific information on the conference including the reason for ending
  • List active conferences
  • Mute and unmute participants
  • Hold and unhold participants
  • Keep all participants on hold until a host arrives
