inputChunkDurationMs (default 25ms).a9dcb56: Fix iOS Safari dropping the first message's audio on WebSocket voice sessions.
iOS Safari blocks HTMLAudioElement autoplay (including elements fed by MediaStreamDestination) when the underlying AudioContext wasn't started synchronously inside a user gesture, and additionally needs the audio element to have an explicit play() call against a non-empty playback graph. The web setup chain awaits getUserMedia, the connection handshake, and the audio worklet load before MediaDeviceOutput would have created its AudioContext, so by then the gesture is already consumed. The first agent message would arrive into a suspended context and never play; subsequent messages worked because the mic capture had reactivated iOS's audio session by then.
The fix has two parts:
touchstart/touchend/click listeners on document. The first user interaction creates and unlocks an AudioContext (silent BufferSource.start(0) + resume()) and stashes it for the next session. The stash auto-discards after 30s if no session starts. Capture-phase is needed because the convai widget awaits a terms-modal promise between the user's tap and Conversation.startSession, which would otherwise consume the gesture before any session code runs.MediaDeviceOutput on iOS posts ~100ms of silence to the worklet and explicitly calls audioElement.play() to prime the MediaStream → HTMLAudioElement pipeline.Non-iOS is unchanged: it still lazily creates the context with the requested sample-rate constraint and does not register the document listeners.
WebRTC voice sessions are unaffected by this change.
Event/CloseEvent constructors in DisconnectionDetails with a platform-agnostic DisconnectionContext type. The context property on disconnection details is now { type: string; reason?: string; code?: number } instead of a DOM event object. This fixes runtime failures on React Native where Event and CloseEvent constructors are not available.1216ded: Add full tool result payload support to onAgentToolResponse.
The onAgentToolResponse callback now also receives agent_tool_response_full_payload server events, delivering the raw full_tool_result string (capped at 64 KB) alongside the existing summary events. Consumers can distinguish between the two by checking for the presence of full_tool_result on the payload. To receive full payloads, enable the agent_tool_response_full_payload client event in the agent's configuration UI.
<ConversationProvider
agentId="…"
onAgentToolResponse={payload => {
if ("full_tool_result" in payload) {
if (payload.truncated) {
console.warn("full payload truncated to 64 KB");
}
console.log(payload.tool_name, payload.full_tool_result);
RealtimeConnection now exposes mute(), unmute(), and isMuted. The useScribe React hook surfaces these as isMuted state with mute() and unmute() callbacks.onAgentResponseCorrection callback for agent response correction events.contextId to sendContextualUpdate for deduplicating contextual updatesllm to the typed agent prompt override for conversation sessions.keyterms option (string[]) to the Scribe realtime API. Biases the model towards specific terms (max 50 keyterms, each up to 20 chars), passed as repeated query params on the WebSocket URL.noVerbatim option (boolean) to the Scribe realtime API. When enabled, removes filler words, false starts, and disfluencies from transcripts.onConnect runs after the session is marked connected and React has synchronized conversationRef. Also expose and forward onConversationCreated for consumers that need the created Conversation instance before onConnect.0d5c368: Fix getInputVolume/getOutputVolume returning 0 in React Native by adding native volume providers using LiveKit's RMS and multiband FFT processors.
Breaking: getByteFrequencyData() now returns data focused on the human voice range (100-8000 Hz) instead of the full spectrum (0 to sampleRate/2). On web, getVolume() is also computed from this range. The deprecated getAnalyser() method still provides direct access to the raw AnalyserNode for consumers needing full-spectrum data.
50ea6ef: fix: use explicit .js extensions in ESM imports for Node.js compatibility
Switch moduleResolution from bundler to nodenext and add .js extensions to all relative imports. The published packages use "type": "module" but the compiled output had extensionless imports, which breaks Node.js ESM resolution. Also add "type": "module" to @elevenlabs/types.
Updated dependencies [50ea6ef]
sendMultimodalMessage in useConversationControls hook. Export MultimodalMessageInput type from @elevenlabs/client.f174972: Breaking: Input class removed from exports; VoiceConversation.input is now private; changeInputDevice() returns void.
The Input class is no longer exported. The input field on VoiceConversation is now private. changeInputDevice() returns Promise<void> instead of Promise<Input>.
Before:

input.setMuted(true);
const newInput: Input = await conversation.changeInputDevice(config);
getInputVolume()/getOutputVolume() and empty Uint8Array from getInputByteFrequencyData()/getOutputByteFrequencyData() instead of throwing when no active conversation or analyser is available. This avoids forcing consumers (e.g., animation loops) to wrap every call in try-catch.1b84231: Add guardrail_triggered server-to-client WebSocket event, emitted when a guardrail is triggered during the conversation.
New callback: onGuardrailTriggered on Callbacks — fires when the server detects a guardrail violation.
const conversation = await Conversation.startSession({
agentId: "your-agent-id",
onGuardrailTriggered: () => {
console.log("A guardrail was triggered");
},
});For the client to receive events, it must be enabled on the "Advanced" tab of the agent's settings.
