  4. Podium uses a pre-recorded welcome greeting by default. To upload your own, click the Choose file button and upload your custom greeting (must be in .mp3 or .wav format).  
    • Note:Don't want a welcome greeting at all and would rather your customers go straight to ringing? Just click the toggle button and disable welcome greetings.
  5. If you want your customers to be able to directly dial an extension of a phone or a call group (e.g. directly calling the Billing department), include instructions in your welcome greeting. To verify extensions associated with your groups, go to Settings > Phones > Call Groups.
    • Example: “If you want to reach the Billing department, dial *9”
  6. Click Save Changes.
