OpenAI announced it will permanently retire ChatGPT's Advanced Voice Mode and Standard Voice Mode on December 11, 2026, consolidating all voice development resources into its new GPT-Live platform. Users began receiving deprecation notices on November 10, and both legacy modes will be removed from the Settings-Voice menu by the deadline. Users currently relying on either mode will automatically switch to GPT-Live upon removal. Prior voice conversation history remains accessible, allowing users to resume interactions via text or GPT-Live. However, because GPT-Live does not yet support real-time video or screen sharing, those specific features will continue operating through Advanced Voice Mode until December 11. Similarly, voice conversations with custom GPTs will remain on Advanced Voice Mode through that date before transitioning fully to GPT-Live.
