FAQPage Schema
How do I build a real-time Gemini Live API application with WebSockets?

Build a real-time Gemini Live API application by establishing WebSocket connectivity to support bidirectional audio, video, and text streaming. This enables instant responses in live contexts using configurable session behaviors and selected models.

Can I use Python and JavaScript SDKs for bidirectional audio and video streaming?

Yes, bidirectional audio and video streaming is supported across both Python and JavaScript/TypeScript SDKs. These cross-language SDKs facilitate VAD, native audio features, and function calling during live sessions.

How does session management and authentication work for WebSocket live sessions?

Session management and authentication for WebSocket live sessions rely on ephemeral tokens and context handling. This mechanism ensures secure authentication and supports seamless reconnection for active live sessions.

Does the Gemini Live API support voice activity detection and function calling?

Yes, the Gemini Live API supports voice activity detection (VAD), native audio features, thinking, and function calling. These features operate within live sessions using the available Python and JavaScript/TypeScript SDKs.

What is the best way to handle secure authentication for real-time audio streaming?

The best way to handle secure authentication for real-time audio streaming is by implementing ephemeral tokens. This approach secures your WebSocket connection and manages context for seamless session reconnection.
