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 can only be used on calls with other One Net Business users.
On-hold music for call centres
On-hold music for call centres is configured as part of setting up a call centre.

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.

Setting up on-hold music and video
If your organisation has the on-hold music service, a site administrator can set it up for their site. These settings apply by default to all users on the site. If the on-hold music service is assigned to a department, a site administrator can set it up for departments within their site. If users have the on-hold music user service, they can switch it on or off.
If you don't set up on-hold music for your site or department, the default system on-hold music is used.
You can choose whether or not to play on-hold music when a call is put on hold, parked or camped against a busy phone.
You can select different media sources to use for external and internal calls. The options are:
- The music defined for the system
- A custom file
Music rights
Before uploading music, make sure you have the rights to play it to your customers.
