Hi, Can you please help me with two things 1) Add "answeronbridge"=true for my API when dialing Twilio ------------- Communication received from twilio Team For your reference ///// Here is the corrected TwiML: (This is a reference and values might need to be replaced. ///// _____________________ 2) disable the Twilio AMD, i am now using Vapi- having both causes huge latency like 6 seconds. -------------------------- Communication received from twilio Team For your reference //// If you wish to disable AMD, please remove all of the following parameters from your API request, Please contact to your application account developer. MachineDetection AsyncAmd Any parameters starting with MachineDetection* (e.g., MachineDetectionTimeout, MachineDetectionSilenceTimeout, etc.) AsyncAmdStatusCallback Once these are removed, Twilio will no longer run Answering Machine Detection on your calls. ///// ------ I already talked with Twilio team and they cannot help me and they said only Vapi team can help me. Please don't direct me to them again - i want this to be resolved super fast. Let me know what details you need from my side to make it happen. Keurba

To add

answerOnBridge="true"

when dialing Twilio, update your TwiML generation to include this attribute in the

<Connect>

element. Here’s a sample Express.js endpoint that returns the correct TwiML:

js
app.post("/twiml", (req, res) => {
  const VoiceResponse = require('twilio').twiml.VoiceResponse;
  const twiml = new VoiceResponse();
  const connect = twiml.connect({ answerOnBridge: true });
  connect.stream({ url: "wss://your-vapi-stream-url" });
  res.type("text/xml").send(twiml.toString());
});

Replace the stream URL as needed. This ensures Twilio bridges the call only when the other party answers, reducing early media issues. For more details, see the [Vapi-Twilio call handling documentation](https://docs.vapi.ai/calls/call-handling-with-vapi-and-twilio).

Hey @Keruba I can help you enable answerOnBridge="true" in your TwiML and fully remove every AMD parameter so Twilio stops running detection and the 6-second delay disappears. I just need your current outbound call request or TwiML snippet to apply the fixes correctly. Quick check—are you still experiencing the delay on all calls or only some?
