Who This Is For / When to Use
Use voice notes when you want to communicate in a Community without typing a longer message.
Voice notes and audio attachments can be used for:
Community posts
Comments on posts
Updates and announcements
Feedback or responses
Other discussions where audio is easier than text
Voice notes are currently available on the web. Mobile app support is not currently available.
Record a Voice Note in a Post
The post composer includes a microphone button for recording a voice note directly inside Kyrios.
To record a voice note:
Open the Community where you want to create a post.
Start creating a new post.
Click the microphone icon in the post composer.
Begin recording your voice note.
Pause or resume the recording as needed.
Confirm the recording to attach it to the post, or cancel it if you do not want to keep it.
Complete the required post information.
Click Post.
The recording remains inside the post composer so you can review it before publishing.
Upload Audio Files to a Post
Community posts can include uploaded audio files in addition to recorded voice notes.
To attach an existing audio file:
Open the post composer.
Select the audio attachment option.
Choose the audio file you want to upload.
Add additional audio files if needed.
Complete the post.
Click Post.
Multiple audio attachments can be added to the same post.
Recorded voice notes and uploaded audio files can also appear together as attachments before the post is published.
Add a Voice Note to a Comment
Voice notes can also be recorded directly from the comment composer.
To add a voice note to a comment:
Open the Community post.
Click the microphone icon in the comment composer.
Record your message.
Pause or resume the recording if needed.
Confirm the recording.
Submit the comment.
The voice note appears directly within the comment after it is posted.
Play Voice Notes and Audio Files
Voice notes and uploaded audio files can be played directly from the Community feed without opening another application.
Recorded voice notes display a waveform-style player.
Uploaded audio files display an audio timeline.
During playback, members can:
Play or pause the audio.
View the current playback position.
Change playback speed.
Continue listening to subsequent audio tracks when multiple tracks are available.
Supported playback speeds are:

Voice Notes vs. Uploaded Audio
A voice note is audio recorded directly from the Community post or comment composer. An uploaded audio file is an existing audio file selected from the user's device and attached to a post.
Both can be played directly inside the Community feed.
Multiple uploaded audio files can be attached to a single post.
Current Availability and Limitations
Voice notes are currently supported on the Kyrios web experience. Voice notes can be used in both posts and comments. Multiple audio files can be attached to one post. Playback supports 1x, 1.5x, and 2x speeds.
Mobile app support is planned but is not currently available.
