TelephonyCallGroup

This API is available on Firefox OS for internal applications only.

The TelephonyCallGroup interface of the Web Telephony API represents a multi-person/conference call, providing functions to allow callers to be added and removed from the conference call, hanging up of the entire call, and more.

It is accessed through the Telephony.conferenceGroup property.

Properties

TelephonyCallGroup.calls Read only
Returns an array containing all the TelephonyCall objects representing the calls currently added to the call group.
TelephonyCallGroup.state Read only
Returns a DOMString indicating the state of the call group.

Examples

JavaScript
// Create your Telephony object
var tel = navigator.mozTelephony;

// Make two calls; assume they are both answered
var call1, call2;
tel.dial(number1).then(call => call1 = call);
tel.dial(number2).then(call => call2 = call);

// Add both calls to the conference call
// Two entries will appear in conference.calls (call1, call2)
// but nothing in tel.calls
var conference = tel.conferenceGroup;
conference.add(call1, call2);

// Make another call; this will appear in tel.calls, not conference.calls
var call3;
tel.dial(number3).then(call => call3 = call);

// Add call3 to the conference; it will now appear in conference.calls too
conference.add(call3);

// Remove call2 from the conference
// Now we have two entries in conference.calls (call1, call3)
// and one entry in telephony.calls (call2)
conference.remove(call2);

// Hang up the entire conference call
// only one entry now remains, in telephony.calls (call2)
