Music on hold

What can I do with Hold Music?

With music on hold you can let your callers wait for an available colleague with a nice background music. This feature can be used in two ways:

• With a queue: when you are using the queue feature in your dial plan, the callers in the queue will hear a tune and the messages that you have selected.
• While putting a conversation on hold: when you put someone on hold on your device, the selected queue music will be played. Pay attention: hold music does not work in combination with conversations that are started through Click-to-Dial.
