Custom Greeting for Lync Conferencing Center

Answered Custom Greeting for Lync Conferencing Center

    By default, when you call into a Lync Dial-in conferencing number, the greeting is "Welcome to the Audio Conferencing Center...".   Is there any way to replace this with a custom greething?  Some toll-free service providers (Paetec) require that you identify the name of the company immediately for toll free numbers. 


    Thanks

    There is no support for customizing the conferencing prompts. Under OCS there was a method but the files do not appear to be stored the same way under Lync http://support.microsoft.com/kb/961177

    Hi LyncBuilder,

    Lync Server 2010 does not support customization of voice prompts and music for dial-in conferencing. However, if you have a strong business need that requires you to change the default audio files, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article 961177, "How to customize voice prompts or music files for dial-in audio conferencing in Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2," available at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=179684.

    Noya Liu's suggestion worked great.  The only thing I would add is that you need to restart the "Lync Conference Attendant" service in order for the files to be cached.
