Twilio receive user input during a conference call

Question

Let us say,if there are 3 participants in conference room. Is it possible to receive user input using gather options during a conference call in twilio using node js without ending the call or transferring the call.

Answer 1

A conference call cannot also receive input via <Gather>. The only thing you can do in a conference call is set hangupOnStar on the <Dial> TwiML and when a caller uses it, direct them to a <Gather> afterwards to make their selection, then direct them back into the conference.
