assignees: ''</h2>
<h2>🧩 Feature Summary</h2>
<p>Add <strong>real-time voice chat</strong> to CodeFusion's collaboration sessions, allowing users who are co-editing a project to communicate verbally without leaving the platform.</p>
<hr>
<h2>🎯 Motivation / Problem Statement</h2>
<p>Currently, collaborators working together in CodeFusion must rely on external tools (Discord, Google Meet, etc.) for voice communication while coding. This context-switching breaks focus and reduces productivity.</p>
<p>Integrating voice chat directly into collaboration sessions will:</p>
<ul>
<li>Keep developers in a single, focused environment</li>
<li>Reduce friction during pair programming or code reviews</li>
<li>Make CodeFusion a more complete real-time collaboration platform</li>
</ul>
<hr>
<h2>✅ Proposed Solution</h2>
<p>Implement an in-app voice channel that is automatically available when a collaboration session is active.</p>
<h3>Core Functionality</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Join/Leave Voice Room</strong> — Users in a shared session can opt into a voice channel tied to that session.</li>
<li><strong>Mute/Unmute Toggle</strong> — Each participant can mute or unmute themselves.</li>
<li><strong>Speaker Indicator</strong> — Visual indicator showing who is currently speaking.</li>
<li><strong>Push-to-Talk (optional)</strong> — Alternative to open mic mode for noise-sensitive environments.</li>
<li><strong>Voice Activity Detection (VAD)</strong> — Auto-detect speech to reduce background noise.</li>
</ul>
<h3>UI/UX</h3>
<ul>
<li>Floating voice panel or toolbar integration (non-intrusive).</li>
<li>Participant avatars/initials with speaking animation.</li>
<li>Microphone permission prompt on first use.</li>
<li>Session-scoped rooms — voice room is destroyed when the session ends.</li>
</ul>
<hr>
<h2>🛠️ Technical Considerations</h2>

Area | Suggestion
-- | --
WebRTC | Use WebRTC for peer-to-peer or SFU-based audio
Signaling | Extend current WebSocket server or use a dedicated signaling server
Library Options | livekit, daily.co, Agora SDK, or native WebRTC
Permissions API | Browser navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia for mic access
Scalability | Consider an SFU (Selective Forwarding Unit) for sessions with 3+ users

<h2>🖼️ Mockup / Design Notes</h2>
<pre><code>┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  🎙️ Voice  •  Session: my-project       │
│  ──────────────────────────────────     │
│  🟢 Alice (speaking...)                 │
│  🔇 Bob (muted)                         │
│  🟢 You                                 │
│                                         │
│  [ 🎤 Mute ]   [ 📞 Leave Voice ]       │
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘
</code></pre>

<h2>📋 Acceptance Criteria</h2>
<ul>
<li>[ ] A voice room is created automatically when a collaborative session starts</li>
<li>[ ] Users can join and leave the voice room independently</li>
<li>[ ] Each user can mute/unmute their microphone</li>
<li>[ ] A visual speaking indicator is shown for the active speaker</li>
<li>[ ] Voice does not affect code sync or editor performance</li>
<li>[ ] Mic permission is requested gracefully with a clear explanation</li>
<li>[ ] Works across Chrome, Firefox, and Edge (latest versions)</li>
<li>[ ] Voice room is cleaned up when the session ends or all users leave</li>
</ul>
<hr>
<h2>🔗 Related Issues / References</h2>
<ul>
<li>[ ] Link to existing collaboration/session feature issue (if any)</li>
<li>[ ] Link to WebSocket/signaling architecture docs (if applicable)</li>
</ul>
<hr>
<h2>📌 Priority</h2>
<ul>
<li>[ ] 🔴 Critical</li>
<li>[x] 🟠 High</li>
<li>[ ] 🟡 Medium</li>
<li>[ ] 🟢 Low</li>
</ul>
<hr>
<h2>💬 Additional Context</h2>
<p>This feature would position CodeFusion as a self-contained pair programming environment. A phased rollout could begin with basic 1:1 voice, expanding to multi-user rooms in a later iteration.</p></body></html>
