Request
Please show clear, persistent status indicators on the floating ChatGPT Voice control in the Codex/ChatGPT desktop app for both microphone input and ChatGPT’s voice output.
What the indicators should answer
At a glance, the user should be able to tell:
- whether ChatGPT Voice can currently hear them, including whether their microphone is muted; and
- whether they have muted ChatGPT’s spoken voice output.
Suggested behavior
- Display a microphone icon that clearly reflects whether Voice is listening or the user is muted.
- Display a speaker icon that clearly reflects whether ChatGPT’s voice output is muted.
- Keep both indicators visible on the compact floating Voice control, not only in the expanded conversation view.
- Make each state understandable without relying on colour alone.
Thank you for considering it.
