On-hold music and video
About on-hold music and video
You can improve your callers' experience by playing music or messages if you have to place them on hold. You can play background music so callers are not left in silence, or use the opportunity to deliver informative or promotional messages. Using the announcement repository, you can set up your own music or messages to play to callers instead of the default on-hold music.
Using video
If you also have the on-hold video service, you can select a video file to play to on-hold callers. This is used if the caller's device is capable of playing video. If not, the default on-hold music is played.

Video is not available on mobile phones.
Video can only be used on calls with other One Net Business users.
Recording and adding messages
You can record your own on-hold messages directly in One Net Manager, using your announcement repository. You can also upload external WAV or WMA files there.
Contact your administrator if you need any help recording a message or uploading a file.
