I am using the Unity platform with XR interaction toolkit to run Convai on a VR device(Pico 4). It works well, but every time I have to hold a key for talking to the AI. Is there anyway to make it continuous mic rather than push to talk?

Unfortunately, this feature is not currently possible. I have added your request to the list.

Thank you. Is there any possibility I can use it with a toggle button of some sort?

Do you want to press it once and talk instead of holding it down?

I was planning to add a toggle button, similar to the one found in XR interaction toolkit sample scene.

It probably won’t work. Because the SDK is not designed for it.
