hold_music

string Per-channel hold music. Supports all audio formats and audio streams. The hold_music variable can also be set globally in vars.xml.

Usage

<action application="set" data="hold_music=/sounds/holdmusic.wav" />

<action application="set" data="hold_music=silence" />

You can also use phrase: to indicate to use a phrase instead of a specific file:

<action application="set" data="hold_music=phrase:my_hold_music" />

You can also set your hold_music to the special value indicate_hold instead of a music source and it will pass the hold signaling through to the far-end via the SDP:

<action application="set" data="hold_music=indicate_hold" />

For multi-tenant environment, if you want to have a separate MOH for the phone with hold button (like Polycom) that utilizes RE-INVITE with no media ip addr (0.0.0.0) for hold, you can override the hold-music values in the sip profile parameter similar to the following example:

<action application="bridge_export" data="hold_music=$${sounds_dir}/music/company-a.mp3"/>
