What Is Music On Hold?
Music On Hold (MOH) is audio played through a business phone system when callers are placed on hold. Instead of hearing silence, callers hear music or branded audio while waiting to speak with a team member. This simple feature improves the overall caller experience and helps reduce frustration during wait times. Music on hold can also promote services, share announcements, and reinforce brand identity.
