Description

This property parameter MAY be specified on the "CONFERENCE" property. Multiple values can be specified. The "MODERATOR" value is used to indicate that the property value is specific to the owner/initiator of the conference and contains a URI that "activates" the system (e.g., a "moderator" access code for a phone conference system that is different from the "regular" access code).

Example

 CONFERENCE;VALUE=URI;FEATURE=AUDIO:rtsp://audio.example.com/
  event
 CONFERENCE;VALUE=URI;FEATURE=AUDIO,VIDEO:https://video-chat.exam
  ple.com/;group-id=1234
