When several people share a canvas, typing in a side panel is often too slow. Voice chat puts everyone in a live audio room, and cursor chat drops a quick message exactly where you’re pointing.

​
Voice chat

Every canvas has its own voice room. To join, open the collaborators dropdown in the editor header and click the mic button on your own row — your browser asks for microphone permission at that moment, never before. While connected, a floating voice bar shows everyone in the room:
  • Each participant appears as an avatar chip, with a ring while they’re speaking and a badge when muted.
  • Mute/unmute and leave buttons sit on the bar; the mic toggle in the collaborators dropdown mirrors the same state.
  • Drag the bar anywhere on screen if it’s in your way.
Anyone with access to the canvas can join the same room, so a design review is one click away from the work itself. For voice across the rest of Flowy, see Voice Rooms.

​
Cursor chat

Press / anywhere on the canvas and a small input opens at your pointer. Type your message and press Enter — collaborators see it as a bubble riding your live cursor, exactly where you’re working. The bubble follows your pointer as you move and fades a few seconds after you send, keeping the canvas clean. Cursor chat is ephemeral by design — point at a node, say “this one”, and move on. For anything worth keeping, use the AI chat panel or a sticky note.
Voice and cursor chat reach the people on your canvas. To direct the AI assistant, use the chat dock — see the AI Assistant Overview.
