I am trying to make conference with Voximplant, and when user makes a call to another user, while the call is still going on, it makes another call to another user making two calls and the callees is added to a video conferencing. But it seems the caller is billed twice and the scenerio doesnt look optimised. What should i do to bill once and optimize it?
Scenario:
require(Modules.Conference);
var call, conf = null;
VoxEngine.addEventListener(AppEvents.Started, handleConferenceStarted);
function handleConferenceStarted(e) {
// Create 2 conferences right after session to manage audio in the right way
if( conf === null ){
conf = VoxEngine.createConference(); // create conference
}
conf.addEventListener(CallEvents.Connected,function(){
Logger.write('Conference started')
})
}
VoxEngine.addEventListener(AppEvents.CallAlerting, function(e) {
e.call.addEventListener(CallEvents.Connected, handleCallConnected);
let new_call = VoxEngine.callUser(e.destination,e.callerid,e.displayName,{},true)
new_call.addEventListener(CallEvents.Connected,handleCallConnected);
e.call.answer();
});
function handleCallConnected(e) {
Logger.write('caller connected');
conf.add({
call: e.call,
mode: "FORWARD",
direction: "BOTH", scheme: e.scheme
});
}
You need to end the conference when there are no participants. Refer to the following article in our documentation: https://voximplant.com/docs/guides/conferences/howto. You can find the full scenario code there.
Additionally, I recommend to add some handlers for the CallEvents.Disconnected and the CallEvent.Failed events right after
new_call.addEventListener(CallEvents.Connected,handleCallConnected);
because sometimes the callee may be offline or press a reject button. 🙂
