Teams – UK Ringback Tone for Call Queues

When calling a Teams Call Queue, by default it will play the Microsoft default hold music which is same as Response Groups in Lync and Skype for Business.

One of the things I always get asked by customers is “Can we change that to a normal ringback tone?” which you absolutely can. In fact it’s now something I ask up front before creating any Call Queues.

Changing a CQ ringback tone is achieved by changing the CQ hold music. Many countries have slightly different ringback tones, in fact in the UK it can vary slightly from carrier to carrier. However this is my trusty file that’s been used for many UK customers over the years.

Teams Call Queue hold music can easily be changed via the Teams Admin Centre:

  1. Hi

    Nice looking script, just looking through the logic and was wondering how hard would it be to add a section to check the users licensing? To ensure they have both Teams1 and a MCOEV License.

    I am also looking to see if we can i can add a section to locate a free number for new users.
