I want to join two conferences (confbridge). Suppose there is a conference room c1 and then there is another conf room c2, now i want that participant of c1 can also join participants of c2 but the condition is that c1 participant don't have to leave their room.

How can I implement this using confbridge and asterisk?

So the last time I answered one of your ConfBridge questions, you un-marked it as an answer some time later when I didn't respond fast enough to your subsequent questions - some of which had nothing to do with the original query. I think I'll pass on writing up a comprehensive answer for your questions - suffice to say that this is doable with the Originate application and Local channels. - Matt Jordan
I'm grateful to you for responding in the past, and for the answer on this post despite the misunderstanding that I unmarked the previous answer. I never realized that it happened and I apologize for the same. I have immediately marked your answer on my previous post. Thanks - Anil agrahari

considering you have two conferences rooms named 1 and 2 then add to your extensions.conf:

[join-conference]
exten => s,1,ConfBridge(2)
exten => s,n,Hangup
exten => h,1,Hangip

and do it in shell:

asterisk -rx "channel originate local/s@join-conference application ConfBridge 1"

Basically you are making a call with two legs: one to conference 1 and another to conference 2. It is not a big deal and works perfectly. let me know if you cant understand something.
