What is a voice prompt
A voice prompt is a recorded audio message that is played to callers. The voice prompt can be a request that requires callers to input data through DTMF, or an intermediary that provides instructions and directions to help callers obtain information.
Voice prompt types
Yeastar P-Series Software Edition supports 3 types of voice prompt:
- System Prompt: System prompt is Yeastar-provided
prompt to provide instructions for callers. For example, if a password is
required for a meeting, users will be prompted to enter password before they
successfully join the meeting.
You can use pre-defined system prompt, or change system prompt by downloading online prompts or uploading custom system prompts.
For more information, see Change System Prompt and Customize System Prompt.
- Custom Prompt: Custom prompt can
be company-specific prompt, which is used in specific call scenario. For
example, when a call is forwarded to another destination, the caller will be
prompted that the call is forwarded.
You can record new prompt on your phone, or upload pre-recorded prompt to the PBX.

- Music on Hold: Music on Hold (MoH) is the
business practice of playing recorded music to fill the silence that would
be heard by callers who have been placed on hold.
You can use pre-defined music on hold, or customize your own music on hold.
