# Uploading Sound files to VoIPNow

{% hint style="info" %}
The sound file needs to be a .wav or .mp3 file type for best results.
{% endhint %}

**Step 1** - Login to the VoIPNow portal with your service provider account or VoIP bundle account

*URL -* [*sip01.mhn.net.au*](http://sip01.mhn.net.au/)

**Step 2** - Navigate to the user you wish to upload the sound file to, in the below example we have used the user ‘Call Handling’ because all the IVR and Queue extensions are setup there.

**Step 5** - Give the new sound a name that you can use to easily locate it (e.g. for a welcome message you can just use “ClientName\_Greeting”), select the sound file and tick ‘Default Sound File’.
