ChatGPT's Advanced Voice Mode Now Includes Vision Features

OpenAI has rolled out a significant upgrade to ChatGPT's Advanced Voice Mode on Day 6 of its live stream event, enabling the AI to process and respond to live video input and screen sharing during conversations.

Key details:

Users can now share live videos or screens while using Advanced Voice Mode, allowing ChatGPT to understand and engage with the visual context in real time.

This feature is accessible via a new video icon in the mobile app, with screen sharing available through a separate menu option.

The update is available to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Team subscribers, while Enterprise and Edu users will have access starting in January.

Why it matters: Seven months after its initial demo, OpenAI has fulfilled its promise of visual understanding in conversational AI, taking ChatGPT beyond text and voice into full multimodal interaction. This week has been significant for vision, as both Gemini and ChatGPT Advanced Voice have gained powerful new capabilities.
