This article is meant to help you change the music your callers will hear when you put their calls on hold. In our video, we logged in as an Organization and we followed the steps described below. The recommendations included in here apply to all types of accounts. 

However, if you want to customize music on hold from your User account, you will find the Sounds option in the User Management page (not in the Unified Communications area), right under Telephony Settings. 

Step-by-step guide

Creating a sound folder

  1. Log into VoipNow using with your Organization account details.
  2. Select Unified Communications from the main menu. 
  3. Press Sounds under Assets.
  4. In the Sound Management page, click Folders and then Add Folder.
  5. Give your new folder a name, let's say "MOH", then press OK.

Adding the music on hold

Now that you've created the folder, it's time to add the sound for your music on hold.

  1. Go back to the Sound Management page and click Add Sound.
  2. Fill a name for your new sound and enable This is music on hold.
  3. From the Folder drop-down list, select the recently created folder (in our case, "MOH").

  5. Press OK when you're done.
