Twilio: Can I make OUTBOUND conference calls?

Twilio's markup language clearly defines how incoming calls can be combined into a common conference room.

But I want to dial several calls at the same time and join them. If I use the verb "dial" in the markup language, I get several consecutive calls, but I would like them in parallel.

The main operation of my application is to receive a call from the conference leader and actively connect all parties to the conference.

This is very easy to achieve with the REST API instead of using the twilm dial to tweak each member. First of all, you placed the conference leader in the conference room:

 <Response> <Dial> <Conference>my room</Conference> </Dial> <Response>

(Please note that you may need to hold music or other instructions, etc.)

Then you use the REST API and recruit other members. There is a quick start to help you get outgoing calls, this one is in PHP , but you can use the language switch on the page for whatever your need. Then you can simply use the URL of the above TwiML to connect these calls to the same conference room. You can also use other TwiML documents, an important factor here is that Conference same room name. Then everyone will be on the same call.

Supporting libraries are available in Ruby, PHP, Python, C #, Java, and Node to help you in the REST API.

Hope this help!
