Has the “Hold Space to Speak / Push-to-Talk” feature been removed?
Body:
Hi everyone,
I’m currently using Voiceflow to build an AI interview flow, and I noticed that the “Hold Space to Speak (Push-to-Talk)” feature seems to be missing. I remember being able to use it in the Prototype before, but now I can’t find the option anywhere in the interface.
Does anyone know:
Was this feature removed or deprecated?
Is it only available on certain plans or versions?
If it’s still available, where exactly can I enable it?
Thanks in advance!

Hey there 👋
The “hold space to speak” (push-to-talk) shortcut is still available – it hasn’t been removed or put behind a paid plan.
Here’s where to find/use it:
1. Open the Test / Prototype preview (Play ▶️ button on the top-right of the canvas).
2. Above the message box you’ll see three input modes: 💬 Chat, 🎙️ Voice, and 🔘 Button. Click the 🎙️ Voice (mic) icon so the voice mode is active.
3. While that mode is active you can either click the mic icon, or simply hold down the space-bar, speak, then release – your utterance will be sent automatically.
(The shortcut only works when the Voice mode is selected and your browser has mic permission.) If you’re only seeing the chat input, it usually means Voice mode isn’t selected yet – nothing’s been deprecated. Reference: Test Tool docs → “Voice: Hold the spacebar to submit an input.” (https://docs.voiceflow.com → Test Tool) Hope that helps get the mic back! If anything still feels off just let me know.

Actually now I cannot find the Share link setting/Three input modes, please help me! And If I choice Voice from "Customize" Only like Call the Phone.
