Question

When will Azure AI Service Voice Live API transition from Public Preview to General Availability?

Benjamin Meyer 0

I am closely evaluating the Voice Live API for a Service. Currently, it is available in public preview as of July 31, 2025. To plan for production rollout, I would highly appreciate clarification on the roadmap:

Is there an expected timeline or specific milestone for when Voice Live API will reach General Availability (GA)?
Are there any criteria or stages (e.g., regional expansions, feature stabilizations) that must be fulfilled before GA?
Will it be available in Azure Switzerland?
Will there be advance notice or phased rollout details communicated to customers ahead of the GA release?

Thanks for clarifying these points.

Hi Benjamin Meyer

Here is the answer to your question on Voice live API.

Is there an expected timeline or specific milestone for when Voice Live API will reach General Availability (GA)? - No ETA provided, please stay tuned to What's new page.

Are there any criteria or stages (e.g., regional expansions, feature stabilizations) that must be fulfilled before GA? - Yes, it is general public preview, product group will be taking feedback of customers for improvement and rolling in certain regions at first. It is common scenario for all incoming features and services.

Will it be available in Azure Switzerland? Not available in Switzerland region yet for public preview version. Reference - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/speech-service/regions?tabs=voice-live#regions

Hello Benjamin Meyer, please find the responses to your questions below.

There is no official announcement from Microsoft on when Voice Live API will be GA'ed. So, there is no timeline that is officially defined.
Products/features typically move through several stages before they are GA'ed. Some of them include feature stability, customer feedback etc. Each varies depending on the product/feature.
No definite clarity from Microsoft yet. They may likely surface by the time it goes GA.
Generally yes. You can keep track of the updates via some of the broader Azure tech communities or through major MS events such as MS Build etc.
