Music on Hold

Music on Hold allows an administrator to set up and maintain an audio source that can be played to held parties when calls are on hold, on a site-by-site basis. This music will be played across company calls with the exceptions of Call Centre and Call Queue Group that have music set differently.

Gamma accepts no responsibility for the gathering of copyrights and bolt-ons required for the music held within Horizon. Please also note that Horizon cannot support live feed music.

Music on hold has a maximum file size of 5MB or 625 Seconds

To create a file for use with music on hold, it needs to be in the following format:

  • .wav format and encoded with CCITT u-Law
  • Formatted at 8000Khz sample rate, 8-bit mono, 7 kb/sec
