    • AA Prompts can be used in auto-attendant Menu, Message, and Directory routes. See the Routes Guide for details.

    • Music On Hold files can also be assigned to the account, individual users, hunt groups, and queues to give callers a custom experience.

    • Queue Announcements are prompts, messages, or music that callers hear when they reach a queue to customize the experience. See Queues and Queue Announcements for details.

  5. Name and Description. Before uploading the file(s) to the account, edit the file name and description (optional) to make it easier to identify later. Each file name must be unique.

    • If needed, click Icon_Play_Blue.png Play to listen to the file or X to remove it.

    • To add files to the upload, drag and drop them into the upload area.

  6. When you’re ready to add these files to the library, click [Upload]. The files will be added to the library shortly; small files will take a few seconds, while large files may take a few minutes. Do not retry the upload during this time.

Audio Quality

Music On Hold files are optimized for use by the phone system, which will result in some degree of quality loss. To hear what it sounds like, click the Icon_Play_Blue.png play button on the right or call a phone number on your account and ask to be placed on hold.
