🔊 What Are Voice Notes?

Voice notes are audio messages you can send directly in chat—great for times when typing is inconvenient or tone matters. These messages are not tied to text or other media and are delivered as standalone audio clips.


👉 How to Send a Voice Note

  1. Open any chat or Space

  2. Click the record icon in the message bar

  3. Select Audio message

  4. Press to start recording (up to 4 minutes)

  5. Listen to your preview

  6. Re-record if needed, or hit Send


✅ What You Can Do

  • Record audio directly in the chat

  • Preview and re-record before sending

  • Send messages up to 4 minutes long

  • Recipients can play, pause, and scrub/seek through the audio

  • Audio is compressed for fast, high-quality playback


🧩 Where Voice Notes Are Useful

  • When you’re walking or multitasking

  • When tone or clarity matters

  • For quick coaching, context, or connection

  • When writing would take too long


💡 Pro Tip:

Voice notes are a great way to keep things personal and human—especially when following up, recognizing someone, or explaining something complex.
