Customizing default audio settings

You can use the Zoom Phone audio library to set the default audio for some Zoom Phone prompts and greetings. These prompts and greetings are usually played before routing the call.

Note: If you want to restrict phone users' access to change these settings, change your policy settings for personal audio library. By default, phone users can change their Audio Prompt Language, Voicemail Greeting, Message Greeting, and Hold Music. You can only change the Audio While Connecting at the site level (if you enabled multiple sites) or account level.

How to customize default audio settings

Notes:

Customize the default language for audio prompts

Audio Prompt Language is the default language for automated audio prompts that play for inbound callers to give them additional instructions. For example, if the caller is routed to your voicemail, your voicemail greeting will play followed by the automated audio prompt: "Please record your message after the tone. Press any key or stop talking to end the recording".

  1. Sign in to the Zoom web portal as an admin with the privilege to edit account settings.
  2. In the navigation menu, click Phone System Management then Company Info.
  3. Access the settings depending on if you have multiple sites:
  4. Click the Settings tab.
  5. Under Audio Prompt, use the Audio Prompt Language setting to change the default language for audio prompts.
    This setting will affect all extensions.

Audio While Connecting: The audio while connecting plays for inbound callers when they are trying to reach an extension.

Note: This does not apply to call queues, auto receptionists, or shared line groups. Auto receptionists always play the greeting first, then the IVR menu prompt. Shared line groups always play a ringtone regardless of the site level Audio While Connecting setting. Call queues have their own call recording setting that plays for callers waiting in the queue.

All extensions except call queues, auto receptionists, or shared line groups

Hold Music: The hold music plays for the other party when they're placed on hold.

Notes:

  • This setting doesn't apply to call queues. Call queues have a separate setting called Music on Hold, which plays when the call queue routes a call, then a member places the call on hold.
  • This setting doesn't apply to parked calls. Parked calls are placed on hold but the call participant on hold will hear the default Zoom hold music. Currently, you can't customize the hold music for parked calls.
