It was almost seven months ago when OpenAI first demoed Advanced Voice Mode with vision and it’s now finally here.
The feature was officially launched on day six of the company’s ‘12 Days of OpenAI,’ with users now able to utilize the chatbot through spoken input, images, and video.
In a podcast-style video, Kevin – who leads product at OpenAI – says: “We’re excited to announce that we’re bringing video to advanced voice mode.”

While the ability to talk to ChatGPT out loud has been possible through Advanced Voice, it’s now possible to do this through video. The team say the tool has been a “long time coming” and suggest it can be used to “ask for help, troubleshoot, or use it to learn something new.”
Users can now also screenshare while using the ChatGPT Advanced Voice Mode with vision feature to receive instant feedback on whatever is on the screen.
While it was announced in the pre-Christmas celebrations, it may take a few days for it to roll out fully. The company states: “All Team and most Plus & Pro users should have access within the next week in the latest version of the ChatGPT mobile app.
“We’ll get the feature to Plus & Pro users in the EU, Switzerland, Iceland, Norway, & Liechtenstein as soon as we can.”
Those on the Enterprise and Edu plans will gain access early next year.
How does ChatGPT’s Advanced Voice Mode with vision work?
The rolling out of this feature means the ChatGPT app and home page look a little different.
To access Advanced Voice Mode with video, simply click on the far-right icon next to the search function on ChatGPT. This will bring up a new page which features a video button, alongside a microphone, three dots, and the exit out icon.
When clicking the video button, users can then ask questions and speak to ChatGPT. The chatbot will respond, as though it’s partaking in a real life conversation.
A Santa voice has been added too which can be selected in ChatGPT settings or within the Voice Mode through the voice picker in the upper right corner.
