New feature allows sharing live video from a phone's camera or screen.

Accessible in Advanced Voice Mode via the voice icon in the chat bar.

Available for ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Team users in most countries.

Enterprise and educational access will roll out in January 2024.

EU and select European users will gain access soon.

OpenAI is taking ChatGPT’s conversational abilities to a new level by introducing live video and screen-sharing options in its mobile app. This new feature, integrated into the app’s Advanced Voice Mode, aims to provide users with a more immersive and efficient way to interact, eliminating the need to describe surroundings or upload images.

The announcement, made on Thursday, highlights how this update could transform voice chats by allowing users to directly share what their phone sees or displays. Whether for troubleshooting, demonstrations, or real-time discussions, the feature promises a seamless exchange of information.


How It Works

Users can activate screen or video sharing by tapping the voice icon in the chat bar of the app’s Advanced Voice Mode. OpenAI assures that this new functionality will be gradually rolled out to different user tiers:

  • ChatGPT Plus and Pro Users: Most countries will see immediate availability.
  • ChatGPT Team Users: Full access globally starting this week.
  • Enterprise and Education Users: Launch expected in January 2024.
  • EU and Surrounding Regions: Countries including Switzerland, Iceland, Norway, and Liechtenstein will receive access soon.


Why It Matters

The inclusion of video and screen-sharing capabilities could redefine how users interact with ChatGPT in real-world applications, making it more versatile for professional and personal use. However, this feature also raises questions about privacy and data security, as it may expose sensitive information to OpenAI’s systems.


Industry Context

OpenAI’s move comes on the heels of Google’s Project Astra, a cutting-edge AI assistant using Android apps and smart glasses to record and interpret users’ surroundings. Astra is currently limited to a select group of testers, with a growing wait list for those eager to try the technology.

With advancements like these, the race to redefine the boundaries of AI-powered assistants is heating up, and OpenAI’s latest feature ensures ChatGPT remains a competitive player in the field.

Stay tuned as OpenAI continues refining its platform to offer more intuitive and innovative tools for users worldwide.
