Record and send a voice message
Record and send a voice message in Cortex Chat: practical steps, setting explanations, result checks and troubleshooting.
A recorded voice message is an asynchronous attachment. It is different from a live Lyre conversation. The composer requests microphone access and limits a recording to five minutes. You can review it before sending.
Before you start
The active composer determines where text, mentions and attachments will be sent. A private assistant panel can sit beside a shared conversation, so check the heading as well as the visible text. Inspect the file or recording before sending it; a local preview is not a completed upload. Chat validates a single attachment and rejects empty, oversized or unsupported files. Receipt state describes the message transport, not the success of a task requested inside it. If the result is uncertain, inspect the existing conversation and any external destination before retrying. This is especially important when a message asks the assistant to send, book or create something.
Step-by-step
- Choose Record voice message and allow the browser microphone request if appropriate.
- Speak the message, then stop using the recording controls before the five-minute limit.
- Review the audio and send it, or discard it if it contains a mistake or private background speech.
What the settings mean
| Control or state | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Composer | The current destination for text and pending media. |
| Preview | Content selected locally and still awaiting the send action. |
| Receipt | Sending, failed, sent, delivered or read information. |
| Task result | The separate artifact or external action requested in the message. |
Check the result
One audio message appears in the intended conversation with a playable recording.
If it does not work
If permission is blocked, inspect the browser and operating-system microphone settings. A pending permission prompt is not an active recording.
