I would love to see the ability to interact with vMix Call using the API...

Functions like:
-VideoCallResetPassword (generating a new password for an existing Call input)
-VideoCallDisconnect (force disconnect a caller)
-AddInput&Value=Call (adding a new Call input, it would be great if return feeds and bitrate settings could also be parsed in a single command)
-Retrieving the current password from the API XML

And more in general a (managed) queue for incoming calls on the same password.
And a 'channel not available' option when a channel is in use (callers shouldnt suppress each other).

I had suggested a prompt if a caller calls in to an active call that would allow us to either accept, deny, or connect the incoming caller to a new vMix Call input.

This gets brought up a lot. It's almost definitely not happening.

The current action is apparently the result of the underlying protocols.

Which means that changing it would likely mean rebuilding a significant amount of vMix Call, if not the whole thing.

The general consensus, if I recall correctly, is that it's statistically unlikely for 2 calls to use the same number, let alone at the same time.

Which means that it'd be significantly more trouble than it's worth to change it, especially given how much work would apparently be required to change it.

The general advice, instead, is to use as many calls as you'll have callers, rather than adding, say, 3 calls and alternating them between 6 callers over the course of the show.
