Add audio to a BizPhone Queue

For more information about setting up your BizPhone Queue, see our video tutorials.

If you have requested a Queue to be added to your BizPhone service, you are able to set up two different audio types:

  • An Entrance Announcement which plays when a call enters the queue; and
  • An On-Hold Announcement which plays when a call in the queue is placed on hold.

Audio you upload in this section can also be accessed and used for other BizPhone features.
