Creating Audio Prompts and Video Slides

The Collaboration Server is shipped with default voice messages (in WAV format) and video slides that are
used for the default IVR services. You can create your own video slides and record the voice messages for
different languages or customize them to your needs.
Recording an Audio Message
To record audio messages, use any sound recording utility available in your computer or record them
professionally in a recording studio. Make sure that recorded message can be saved as a Wave file (*.wav
format) and that the recorded format settings are as defined in steps 4 and 5 on the following procedure.
The files are converted into the Collaboration Server internal format during the upload process.
