WebRTC Voice Chat FAQ
What is WebRTC Voice?
WebRTC or real-time communication for the web, is a free, modern, and open-source project we are working to integrate into Second Life for voice services. It's intended to provide flexibility for future voice-related updates. More technical information about WebRTC can be found at the Second Life wiki's WebRTC Voice article.
Some regions within Second Life currently support WebRTC voice; these regions are running on the Second Life Preflight channel. The current official Second Life Viewer supports voice chat with either Vivox (standard) voice chat or the new WebRTC voice chat system, depending on the region you're currently chatting in.
If you'd like to test out the WebRTC Voice experience for yourself, you can visit the WebRTC Voice 1 region inside Second Life. Be sure to be using an updated version of your preferred viewer or the mobile app.
My voice morphs no longer work, what do I do now?
Because voice morphs are tied to Vivox, the third-party voice service that's supported voice in Second Life for many years, they do not work on the new WebRTC protocol. While we're sorry for this inconvenience, there are many excellent alternatives for voice morphing that have become available to the general public as technology has developed. Our public wiki discusses this issue further in the article Voice Morphing.
