Re: [Linphone-users] Auto-answer Feature

[David Diamond]

Believe me, I wouldn't be using Windows either if I didn't have to!

After some experimenting I found that I could change the properties of the desktop shortcut to Linphone to enable auto-answer. The original shortcut was:
"C:\Program Files\Linphone\bin\linphone.exe"

which I changed to:
"C:\Program Files\Linphone\bin\linphone.exe" -a

Note that if you try to put the <-a> inside the quotes you get a syntax error.

Many thanks for your help!

BTW, I still think there should be a way to do this through the GUI, but for my current needs this is perfect.

I added a patch to linphone-3 (the gui version) a while back to
auto-answer.  As I recall the patch (or at least the idea, maybe not
my specific code) was incorporated.

On Linux if I start linphone-3 with the -a option, it auto-answers.
Since I use my own version with other patches, I can't easily test
this out, and since I avoid windows like the plague it is, I can't
test that out either.  But you can give it a whirl.

Cheers.
