16001: Conference is not bridged


ERROR: 16001

error-16001 page anchor
VOICE
ERROR

The conference you tried to access is not currently active. Twilio creates a conference when the first participant connects, but the conference does not start until it is bridged. If you configure a moderator, the conference does not start until the moderator joins.

Possible causes

possible-causes page anchor
  • The conference has only one participant, so it has not bridged yet.
  • The conference is moderated, and the moderator has not joined yet.
  • The conference has already ended because all participants left, or the moderator left or was disconnected.
  • Retry after the conference is active and bridged. Twilio starts the conference when the second participant joins, or when the moderator joins in a moderated conference.
  • If you use startConferenceOnEnter="false", make sure a participant with startConferenceOnEnter="true" joins, or have the moderator join to begin the conference.
  • Use the Conference resource or statusCallback events to track conference state.
  • If the conference has completed, create a new conference and add participants there.
