Caller on Hold - No indication in client

[GBC_James]

Hi
When a caller is put on hold, there is no indication in the client. The screen on out Yealink T42G phones say "On Hold", but our users don't look at there handsets as they use the 3CXphone for windows with headsets, so that is where they are looking.
Is there a way to get the windows client to say "On Hold" or maybe the Hold button to change colour or something similar?

thanks

Try swapping the "supports reinvite" setting on the sip trunk you're using. If that doesn't work try on the extension.
... does this only happen on external calls or extension to extension calls ?

Hi@JasonNadeau changing the "supports Reinvite" setting on the trunk or the extension didn't work.
It's both internal and external calls

Hello @GBC_James

When a call is put on hold through the windows client then the Hold button changes to resume and half of the keys are greyed out. Are you not experiencing the same behaviour?

Hello @YiannisH_3CX
No we are not experiencing that at all. When a call is put on hold through the windows client, we know the caller is on hold because they get the music and we can't hear them, but there is no change at all to the keys in the client. Hold still says Hold and not resume, the other keys are still available with the exception of the keypad key which is greyed out as normal in a call.

Are you using the 3CX client in CTI mode and the headsets are attached on the Yealink phones? If that is the case then you will not see the buttons change on the client as the client is not in SIP mode and it is just used to control the phone. The info will only be displayed on the IP phone

@YiannisH_3CX Hi. Yes that is it, we are in CTI mode and the headset is attached to the phone.
Thanks for the explanation. Is is worth me requesting that in the Ideas section? Do you think it would be possible to change that in the client so that the buttons change in CTI mode?

You have nothing to lose by posting this to the Ideas section. If this is possible or if this will get implemented this is something for the development team to evaluate.
