Description

### Your use case

#### What would you like to do? I would like to be able to send a voice note that is heard in the same moment that I am recording it in real time I would also like to be able to listen to the voice notes without having to think about each note, but rather that they play automatically as it arrives. #### Why would you like to do it? Many times one wants to interact or listen to the conversation in a chat But one is busy working has busy or dirty hands and I can't be touching the phone to play every voice memo If there is an option that allows voice memos to be played automatically one can be listening to the chat conversation while busy doing something else Without having to have the phone in hand or you are playing every so often to hear the new note #### How would you like to achieve it? I would like there to be some button that will activate the automatic playback of the voice notes and that the voice notes will be played while they are recording this would speed up the time more because normally one recorded a voice note of 2 minutes deep minutes that it takes to record after the person takes a few seconds to download and 2 minutes to play it is 4 minutes in a single voice note row voice note is played while recording the time becomes shorter and communication faster this could be achieved if the voice memo is transmitted extreming

### Have you considered any alternatives?

An alternative could be an integrations that places a walkie-talkie-style ptt button that anyone who steps on that button transmits live audio to all members of the room

### Additional context

This function would be something very practical and useful at this time where the voice conversation is being handled a lot in real time, this allows you to stay connected all the time and the listener will be while you are busy working doing anything of the entire conversation in your room such as If it were a radio station, the consumption is also lower since everyone can listen but not everyone speaks at the same time, so there is less consumption than in a continuous call and fewer disturbances, each person steps only when they want to speak
