# 16000: Whisper Not Available on Twilio Conference

Log Level: ERROR

## Description

This error occurs when you try to use `whisper` or coaching on a standard Voice Conference. Whispering is available only on Agent Conference, and Twilio Conference supports participant coaching in that mode.

### Possible causes

* You attempted to set up `whisper` on a conference that was created without Agent Conference enabled.
* Your account is configured for standard Conference instead of Agent Conference, so the conference leg does not support agent whispering.

### Possible solutions

* Enable Agent Conference in the Twilio Console conference settings, then create the conference again with Agent Conference enabled.
* Use the Agent Conference coaching flow when you need a supervisor to speak privately to one participant without others hearing the audio.
