In FreePBX, the Conferences module allows you to create virtual meeting rooms where multiple callers (internal or external) can dial in and talk to each other — like a teleconference bridge.
It’s a way to allow multiple people to join a single call, useful for meetings, support teams, remote workers, etc.

Conference Room Number | An internal extension that users dial to join the meeting.

Announce Join/Leave | Audio notification when users join or leave.
Talker Optimization | Mutes non-talking users to save bandwidth and improve quality.

-
Internal Users: Dial the conference number (e.g.,
8000) from their phones. -
External Callers: Route a DID to the conference (via Inbound Routes).
Example:
-
Create an Inbound Route for DID
123-456-7890 -
Set Destination to → Conferences → 8000 (Sales Meeting Room)
Now external callers can dial in from outside the office.
