The default value for the Announce current waiting time option is Never. But from the drop-down list, you can set this announcement to be made Once or Periodically.

If you decide this announcement to be made Periodically, you gain access to the Make hold-related announcements every <x> seconds option. And that's where you can set the announcement to be repeated within a specific time interval, for example every 60 seconds.

This now new option is designed to relieve the customer's frustration from all the waiting in queue. Because it lets the caller know approximately how long they need to wait for their call to be picked up.

If you select Periodically or Once, you need to specify the estimated waiting time by filling the "between <x> and <y> seconds" field. The default value is "between 30 and 900 seconds." This means that the announcement will be made if the estimated amount of time the caller needs to wait is set between the limits defined here.

If you set this announcement to be made Periodically, you gain access to the Make hold-related announcements every <x> seconds option. And that's where you ca have the announcement repeated to the caller within a specific time-interval, like every 60 seconds.
