I can use the Twilio JavaScript API to have a participant mute/unmute themselves, but I'm looking for a moderator to be able to mute specific participants, whether they dial in by phone or by clicking to call.

Thank you!

it would seem this would have your answer: http://www.twilio.com/docs/howto/moderated-conference

Right below the top tells you to call a noun in {conference} to be able to mute a specific member.

  • Thank you, but it seems it's just for the participants to be able to mute themselves, no? I'm looking for a way for a moderator to mute a participant. – user1515295 Feb 20 '15 at 20:57

Twilio evangelist here.

You could build a UI that lets a "moderator" see all of the connected conference participants by using the Participants resource in the REST API.

You can POST to a specific participant to mute them.

Hope that helps.

  • Awesome-- exactly what I was looking for. – user1515295 Feb 23 '15 at 01:49
  • As a bonus feature, is there any way a moderator could see which participant was making noise? This would be useful when one participant has tremendous background noise but you can't tell which one. – user1515295 Feb 23 '15 at 01:55
  • Sorry. There is no way to get sound levels from participants. – Devin Rader Feb 23 '15 at 01:56
  • Hi @Devin Rader, I've got another Twilio question here that slipped through the cracks: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28666495/twilio-start-stop-recording-mid-call – user1515295 Mar 01 '15 at 06:02
