Finance, health care, technology, education, and retail are just some of the business verticals that do well with Nextiva unified communications. Easy On Hold provides streaming music on hold and messages on hold services directly into the Nextiva platform without the use of any external devices. If you&#8217;re new to the streaming music capabilities Easy On Hold brings to Nextiva, read on! In a few minutes, you will learn how to improve <strong>Nextiva music on hold<\/strong> the easy way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-does-nextiva-music-on-hold-work\">How does Nextiva music on hold work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-default-music\">Default music<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nextiva comes with a default music track that plays from the beginning of the track every time a call is placed on hold. Think: annoying repetition. The single music track repeats every few minutes, causing more caller agony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>I&#8217;m about to pull out my hair at this repetitive hold music, and I&#8217;m trying to pay a bill that you guys messed up. Your on hold music is so bad and repetitive. Repetitive hold music should be considered psychologically harmful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently seen on X<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-custom-music-audio-file\">Custom music audio file<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some official instructions from Nextiva for uploading your own custom music file. That, however, still presents some issues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You must find music you can use legally. The <a href=\"https:\/\/easyonhold.com\/blog\/fines-for-playing-music-without-a-license\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">music licensing<\/a> process can be complicated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The audio must be properly formatted as a mu-law 8-bit .wav. Not a common format.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Files must be under 10 minutes, and the file size must be less than 5 MB.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Someone must upload the audio into the Nextiva platform. To change the content, you must delete the old file and load a new one.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The file plays from the beginning every time a caller is on hold. If you have a 10-minute on hold message, callers will hear the same few minutes at the beginning every time they call.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-audio-files-vs-streaming\">Audio Files vs. Streaming<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-riovizual-prosandcons rv_pac-53b75151-dd33-40e6-954e-da2ddac76d5a is-vertical-on-mobile\"><div class=\"rv_pac-wrapper\"><div class=\"rv_pac-row\"><div class=\"rv_pac-pros-wrapper\"><div class=\"rv_pac-pros\"><div class=\"rv_pac-header\"><div class=\"rv_pac-header-item rv_header-icon-before\"><div class=\"rv_pac-item-icon\"><\/div><div class=\"rv_pac-item-content\"><div class=\"rv_pac-item-text rv_pac-item-title\">streaming<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"rv_pac-body\"><ul class=\"rv_pac-body-items\"><li class=\"rv_pac-body-item rv_body-icon-before\"><div class=\"rv_pac-item-icon\"><\/div><div class=\"rv_pac-item-content\"><div class=\"rv_pac-item-text rv_pac-item-title\">Changes constantly using scheduling<\/div><\/div><\/li><li class=\"rv_pac-body-item rv_body-icon-before\"><div class=\"rv_pac-item-icon\"><\/div><div class=\"rv_pac-item-content\"><div class=\"rv_pac-item-text rv_pac-item-title\">Never plays out-of-date content<\/div><\/div><\/li><li class=\"rv_pac-body-item rv_body-icon-before\"><div class=\"rv_pac-item-icon\"><\/div><div class=\"rv_pac-item-content\"><div class=\"rv_pac-item-text rv_pac-item-title\">Hands-free; no more file handling<\/div><\/div><\/li><li class=\"rv_pac-body-item rv_body-icon-before\"><div class=\"rv_pac-item-icon\"><\/div><div class=\"rv_pac-item-content\"><div class=\"rv_pac-item-text rv_pac-item-title\">Licenses included<\/div><\/div><\/li><li class=\"rv_pac-body-item rv_body-icon-before\"><div class=\"rv_pac-item-icon\"><\/div><div class=\"rv_pac-item-content\"><div class=\"rv_pac-item-text rv_pac-item-title\">Play popular music by artists callers love<\/div><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"rv_pac-cons-wrapper\"><div class=\"rv_pac-cons\"><div class=\"rv_pac-header\"><div class=\"rv_pac-header-item rv_header-icon-before\"><div class=\"rv_pac-item-icon\"><\/div><div class=\"rv_pac-item-content\"><div class=\"rv_pac-item-text rv_pac-item-title\">audio files<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"rv_pac-body\"><ul class=\"rv_pac-body-items\"><li class=\"rv_pac-body-item rv_body-icon-before\"><div class=\"rv_pac-item-icon\"><\/div><div class=\"rv_pac-item-content\"><div class=\"rv_pac-item-text rv_pac-item-title\">Legal hassle; copyright <\/div><\/div><\/li><li class=\"rv_pac-body-item rv_body-icon-before\"><div class=\"rv_pac-item-icon\"><\/div><div class=\"rv_pac-item-content\"><div class=\"rv_pac-item-text rv_pac-item-title\">Plays from the beginning again and again<\/div><\/div><\/li><li class=\"rv_pac-body-item rv_body-icon-before\"><div class=\"rv_pac-item-icon\"><\/div><div class=\"rv_pac-item-content\"><div class=\"rv_pac-item-text rv_pac-item-title\">Manual process to upload and keep fresh<\/div><\/div><\/li><li class=\"rv_pac-body-item rv_body-icon-before\"><div class=\"rv_pac-item-icon\"><\/div><div class=\"rv_pac-item-content\"><div class=\"rv_pac-item-text rv_pac-item-title\">Limited file size<\/div><\/div><\/li><li class=\"rv_pac-body-item rv_body-icon-before\"><div class=\"rv_pac-item-icon\"><\/div><div class=\"rv_pac-item-content\"><div class=\"rv_pac-item-text rv_pac-item-title\">Specialized 8-bit audio file format<\/div><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-easy-way-streaming-audio\">The easy way: streaming audio <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Easy On Hold<\/strong> offers a <a href=\"https:\/\/easyonhold.com\/integrations\/nextiva\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">streaming integration with Nextiva<\/a> that works quite well. This integration allows businesses to stream music and messages on hold, eliminating the need for repetitive audio files. Here are some key features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Management Portal<\/strong>: You can schedule and manage the stream from the Easy On Hold portal, making it easy to keep your on-hold content fresh and up-to-date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Continuous Music<\/strong>: Unlike traditional hold music files, streaming audio plays continuously without starting over each time a call is placed on hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Unlimited Content Length<\/strong>: You can use any length of content, and it doesn&#8217;t have to be limited to a short audio file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Randomized Playback: <\/strong>Your Easy On Hold stream randomizes content topics in the stream, so callers get more variety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Licensed Music<\/strong>: Easy On Hold provides licensed music, including popular hits, so you don&#8217;t have to worry about licensing issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-faq\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-does-it-take-to-set-up-easy-on-hold-streaming-music-in-nextiva\">What does it take to set up Easy On Hold streaming music in Nextiva?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Streaming audio from Easy On Hold can be integrated in just a few steps. The Easy On Hold support team works with your Nextiva tech advisor to register a connection between your Nextiva platform and the streaming server. This allows the flow of audio to play for every call you place on hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-does-streaming-nextiva-music-on-hold-play-during-call-transfers\">Does streaming Nextiva music on hold play during call transfers?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your Nextiva support advisor will set up the stream to play during call transfers (queue), parked calls, and calls placed on hold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-we-play-more-than-one-stream\">Can we play more than one stream?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can tailor streams to satisfy several audiences. Callers who need support are less likely to respond to a sales promotion. However, those calling for general information will find special offers interesting. Think about the different caller groups your business may have, and approach each with a unique stream of music and information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-music-is-available-for-my-nextiva-music-on-hold\">What music is available for my Nextiva music on hold?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If callers are on hold for less than 5 minutes, consider instrumental music with spoken messages that inform, inspire, and update callers while they wait. These are referred to as on hold <strong>messages<\/strong> and offer a chance for your marketing department to get involved.
