# Voice & Cursor Chat

> Talk with collaborators over live voice and drop quick messages right at your cursor.

export const DemoVideo = ({src, poster, caption, aspectRatio = "16 / 10", className = ""}) => {
  return <figure className={`not-prose my-6 w-full ${className}`}>
      <div className="overflow-hidden rounded-2xl border border-gray-950/10 bg-gray-100 dark:border-white/10 dark:bg-white/5" style={{
    aspectRatio
  }}>
        <video src={src} poster={poster} loop autoPlay muted playsInline className="h-full w-full object-cover" />
      </div>
      {caption && <figcaption className="mt-2 text-center text-sm text-gray-500 dark:text-gray-400">
          {caption}
        </figcaption>}
    </figure>;
};

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](/collaboration/voice-rooms).

## Cursor chat

Press <kbd>/</kbd> anywhere on the canvas and a small input opens at your pointer. Type your message and press <kbd>Enter</kbd> — 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.

| Key              | Action                           |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------- |
| <kbd>/</kbd>     | Open cursor chat at your pointer |
| <kbd>Enter</kbd> | Send the message                 |
| <kbd>Esc</kbd>   | Dismiss without sending          |

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](/canvas/ai/overview) or a sticky note.

<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](/canvas/ai/overview).
