Putting a whole bunch of people into a listen-only/muted Confbridge conference or getting the broadcaster audio into a MOH class and then just having callers attach to that MOH class?

Does the the muted side of a Confbridge Room still try to mix in audio from the muted channels or does it just disregard those channels and only run mixes against unmuted channels?

Now, if the answer is “MOH is more efficient”, can someone suggest a way for a channel to be the source of a MOH class?

  • What sort of channel count are you looking for? We did some load testing recently and found less people in a bridge is better then more. Audio source location didn’t really matter much.

  • A few hundred to start with, but as with everything, I’d like to scale up as far as I can. And, of course, it makes sense that “less people in a bridge is better than more” but that’s not quite what I’m asking.

    Is it more efficient to have, for example, 701 people in a confbridge room (700 muted users + 1 person yapping) or to have 700 people dialed in and just running the MusicOnHold application with said person yapping away via some audio source.
