Some months ago I built a web-based tool that does basically what Brian described. One annoying weakness in this is that when you have Asterisk do an N-way dialout, some of the connections will INEVITABLY hit somebody's chatty voicemail tree. Which can trash the conf-call for everybody else.

My "solution" was to put each newly-connected call into a loop with an announcement stating "Hit the one key to join the conference", with a brief keystroke timeout. This is a bit icky, but works.

You could write an AGI file, or a call file to bridge multiple
conference rooms of teams?  How are you planning to have a caller call
in and talk to his team or another team, just a conference room?

What I would do is, create a .call file to join that person to a
conference room, and then .call files to join the 20 other team members
in to that same conference room.  Information on auto dialing and the
.call file is available at :

I've used .call files to bridge about 40 people in to a single
conference call (all using IP lines.)  However you can have asterisk
".call" PSTN numbers, or devices connected to your FXS lines, and
automatically bridge them to your conference room.  With AGI, you could
even play a prompt saying "Team member "Brian" is joining you to his
global/team xxx conference room.
