You could set up the caller meetme where the user presses 1 to 

Exit the conference

Whisper to the moderator

Rejoin the conference

muting and unmuting a caller should have the effect, that the caller can

Let’s say Yves’ “special conference” is .  The moderator would start
using this command

Exten => s,1,meetme()

The participants would do

Exten => s,1,meetme(,m) – muted so they can listen but not talk

- there is one admin / moderator and several "normal" callers.
- the callers must not hear any other caller, only the moderator

 

The moderator would need to be able to enumerate the conference by doing

Asterisk –rx “core show channels verbose”|grep meetme

This is supposed to be doable from the dialplan but my google-fu failed me
on it.
- the moderator must be able to mute and unmute any caller at any time

 

Establish a maximum number of users and set this up for each one

Exten => 99,1,meetmeadmin(,M,1) let user 1 talk

Exten => 199,1,meetmeadmin(,m,1) turn user 1 back off
- the moderator must be able to talk to all callers or to a specific caller.

Exten => 901,1,chanspy(SIP/XXX,w)
- the modetator must be able to kick off any caller at any time...

Exten => 299,1,meetmeadmin(,k,1) kick out user 1

Exten => 666,1,meetmeadmin(,K) shut it down

Sounds like a conference with all attendees permanently muted  (except the

The moderator uses “whisper” to communicate with individuals.

You can do all this with Meetme, ChanSpy and ChannelRedirect. You could
also use the AMI variants of the above commands. Maybe you could use
Confbridge that is intended to replace Meetme.

So the simple answer is yes, this can be done.

Hi list,

I am in need of a "special" asterisk conference room with the following
constraints:

- there is one admin / moderator and several "normal" callers.
- the callers must not hear any other caller, only the moderator
- the moderator must be able to mute and unmute any caller at any time
- the moderator must be able to talk to all callers or to a specific caller.
- the modetator must be able to kick off any caller at any time...

Any hints on how to realize that are highly appreciated..

Thanx in advance,
yves

Hint 1 - specify your Asterisk version since these capabilities change
availabilities between releases.
Hint 2 - you can have the moderator enter the conference normally and
everyone else enter muted
Hint 3 - the moderator should probably have a web interface to accomplish
the other tasks
Hint 4 - refer to this link -
