Record a disguised voice message in your browser

Choose normal or disguised recording

A voice note is useful when speaking is easier than typing, or when tone helps explain a short idea. Normal records your microphone without the disguise effect. Disguised lowers pitch and vocal resonance while preserving speech timing. Both modes use the same encrypted attachment sharing.

Opening the voice options does not request microphone access. The browser asks only when you start recording. Each recording can last up to five minutes, is limited to 8 MiB, and counts as one of the five attachments allowed in a message or group post.

Listen before you share

Recording and sending are separate steps, so you can check the sound or remove an unwanted take.

1. Open Voice message in the message composer, or choose the voice mode beside the group-chat recorder.
2. Select Disguised and start recording, allowing microphone access if prompted.
3. Choose Attach recording when finished, then listen to the draft or remove it.
4. Use the normal Create or Send action when you are ready to share.

The effect runs on your device

The disguise is processed locally in the browser. There is no external voice-processing service, and only processed audio reaches the recorder in Disguised mode. Held does not create a separate raw recording as part of that attachment. If processing fails, it reports the problem and discards the recording rather than producing an undisguised take.

Attaching or cancelling stops the microphone. Capture also stops when you leave the composer or room, go offline, or hide or close the tab. Unsent recordings stay in the current tab’s memory.

A changed voice can still be recognizable

Disguising changes the sound; it does not guarantee anonymity or prevent voice identification. Wording, accent, speech patterns, and background sounds can identify someone. Direct peer connections also do not provide IP anonymity.

Recipients choose Receive and then Play; audio does not play automatically. Browser codec support can differ, and unsupported recordings remain downloadable. A voice attachment follows its message or room’s lifetime, but anyone who saves or copies it can retain that copy after the session ends.
