RE: [XCON] Moving users between conferences



Use case 1 has a generic waiting room URI, where someone helps you into the right conference at the right time.  Like many “in person” waiting rooms.  If SIP was the call protocol, I would probably refresh the dialog.

 

If you are just waiting for the conference moderator to arrive before the conference can start, you may not even need a sidebar.  The media mixer could just show everybody audio, video or text explaining why you wait.  More like a mixer state.

 

Use case 2 can be solved by a sidebar as long as the sidebar is not limited by the original conference objects properties. The limitations of the original conference object may be the cause of the user’s problems in the first place.

I’m with you that the first two are probably sidebars, although the waiting room may not be; depends on exactly what the wait room is.  If you get to it with a generic wait room URI, then you select a conference (somehow) and then you are placed in the conference, then it’s move-between-conferences.  If you get to it with the real conference URI, but you are “seated” in the wait room for some reason, then it’s a sidebar.

 

I am also a bit skeptical of move-between-conferences.  Is this not a “Refer/Replaces” operation; changing the URI of the conference?  If it’s not, then you have the weird situation where the call state is to one conference, with a URI, but you are actually in another conference, with a different URI.  If, for some reason, the UAC decided it needed to create a new dialog, it’s not with the same URI as the original.  That sounds pretty weird to me.

I would not implement the first as a separate conference, but that is something that we could discuss more when we define the sidebar operations. I can see the value of defining a move user between conferences operation, though I'm a bit skeptical of the architecture to enable such an operation. I guess I'd like to see a high level call flow for how this would work.

Sean,

Sidebar is a child of a conference which is not the case here. For the first case there is no conference yet. I agree that the second can be based on sidebar.

I think that I agree with Geir that there is a need to move participants between conferences and not only from a conference to side bar and back

I don't see why those two use cases could not be handled by a sidebar.

Moving users between sidebars has been proposed, but it would be nice to extend this for moving users between conferences as well.  Having a “move” verb would be preferable, as a “delete user” followed by “add user” can have the side effect of disconnecting the user from the conference.

 

Two use cases:

1. Waiting room:  You call a waiting room where someone controls when you can join a specific conference. 

2. Help service:  An administrator can move a user to another conference to help out with typical media problems, debugging or other issues.  Then move the user back when it has been resolved.
