# Bi-directional streaming support

### 10, Sep 2024

We are excited to announce the release of **bi-directional streaming support** in our Voice products. This new feature enables the ability to ingest streams in the form of RTP (Real-Time Protocol), allowing audio to be played directly on the call.

This enhancement is particularly beneficial for customers who are integrating with external AI platforms or custom Text-To-Speech (TTS) engines, providing seamless interaction and enhanced capabilities in real-time communication.

**Key Benefits:**

* **Real-Time Audio Ingestion:** Integrate RTP streams effortlessly, allowing real-time audio playback on ongoing calls.
* **AI & TTS Integration:** Unlock the potential of external AI and custom TTS solutions by feeding audio streams directly into your calls, enabling more sophisticated and responsive voice interactions.
* **Improved Customization:** This feature offers greater flexibility for developers looking to create bespoke voice solutions tailored to their specific needs.

We encourage you to explore this new capability and integrate it into your applications to enhance your voice communication experiences.

For more information on how to implement bidirectional streaming, please refer to our updated developer documentation on [Media Streaming over Websockets](https://developers.telnyx.com/docs/voice/programmable-voice/media-streaming).
