# Live Meetings

Live Meetings are extended, immersive AI voice sessions where you can have a full back-and-forth audio conversation with AI. Unlike the Voice Assistant, Live Meetings support **barge-in** — you can interrupt the AI mid-response, just like a real conversation.

## Available Meeting Types

| Type | Powered by | Route |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Gemini Live** | Google Gemini | `/live` |
| **Azure Live** | Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services | `/live-azure` |

Both types offer the same conversational experience. Your organization may have one or both available depending on configuration.

## Starting a Live Meeting

1.  Navigate to **Live** from the Aide navigation (or go to `/live` or `/live-azure`).
2.  The meeting interface opens with an audio visualizer.
3.  Click **Tap to Start**.
4.  Allow microphone access when prompted.
5.  The session connects — you’ll see the audio bars animate when the connection is established.
6.  Begin speaking naturally.

## How Live Meetings Work

-   Your voice is captured and streamed as **audio chunks** to the AI in real time
-   The AI processes and responds with streamed audio played back through your speakers
-   An **audio visualizer** shows live activity — both when you’re speaking and when the AI responds
-   You can **interrupt** the AI mid-response (barge-in) — the AI stops and listens to you immediately

## Barge-In

Barge-in means you can speak while the AI is still responding and it will stop to listen to you. This makes the conversation feel natural — you don’t have to wait for the AI to fully finish before asking a follow-up.

> **Tip**
>
> Use Live Meetings for tutoring sessions, oral revision practice, or any time you want a flowing back-and-forth conversation rather than structured Q&A.

## Ending a Session

1.  Click **End Call** or the disconnect button.
2.  The audio connection closes.
3.  You’re returned to the Aide interface.

> **Note**
>
> Live Meetings require the **Aide\_Live** feature to be enabled for your organization. If the Live option is not visible in your navigation, contact your administrator.

> **Caution**
>
> Live Meetings use real-time audio streaming and require a stable, reasonably fast internet connection. On a slow or unstable connection, audio may cut out or lag.
