On-Hold Music FAQs

Can we upload our own on-hold music?

You can use supported audio where your TalkChief configuration permits it, provided your organization has the necessary rights and the file meets technical requirements.

Can on-hold audio include announcements?

Approved spoken information can be part of the audio experience, but avoid claims that can become outdated and test intelligibility over the phone network.

Is On-Hold Music available on every TalkChief account?

Supported formats, file limits, assignment options, and playback behavior depend on configuration. Customers are responsible for music and content licensing.
