    Play audio on a call

    This endpoint allows you to play an audio file during an active call. The audio file formats supported are .mp3 and .wav

    API Endpoint

    POST https://api.plivo.com/v1/Account/{auth_id}/Call/{call_uuid}/Play/

    Arguments

    urls Required

    A single URL or a list of comma separated URLs linking to an .mp3 or .wav file.

    length integer

    This is the maximum length to which playing this audio file should be restricted to. Length is provided in seconds.

    legs string

    The call leg in which the audio has to be played. This can take three values aleg (first leg of the call), bleg(second leg of the call) or both. The default value is aleg.

    loop boolean

    This flag when set to true will play the audio file indefinitely. By default it is set to false.

    mix boolean

    This flag is used to determine the behaviour of current call audio when the file is being played. If this is set to false then participants of the call would not be able to hear anyone speaking in the call until the Play is stopped. If set to true both call audio and the Play audio will be mixed and played. Defaults to true.

    Returns

    Returns the acknowledgement that audio file has started playing.
