Gemini Live voice conversations now run in the existing chat sidebar.
- Starting a call closes setup and displays speech in the normal chat, updating partial transcripts in place.
- Use the controls below the messages to mute, stop, restart, or end the call. While stopped, open Call settings to change the model, voice, devices, and read-only Vault/File Search access.
- End the call to return to text chat with your draft preserved.
- Keep talking while editing notes, hiding the sidebar, or switching to Workflow. The Obsidian status bar lets you return to the call or stop it.
- Save transcript checkpoints during the call and serialize final history writes so a text continuation is not overwritten. Existing encryption, automatic-save settings, and Google Web search storage restrictions still apply.
- Finish the call before starting or loading another chat. Closing the Gemini Helper view releases the microphone and playback resources.
- Updated English/Japanese documentation and added history persistence regression tests.
