Hi team,

A few days ago, I noticed that Google AI Studio had an **audio input feature** — I could directly record or upload an audio clip, and it would automatically convert my speech to text before sending the prompt.

However, when I opened AI Studio recently, I can no longer see this **audio option** in the interface. Has the **audio input feature been removed or temporarily disabled**?

If it’s moved somewhere else or available only in specific regions or accounts, could you please clarify the current status of this feature?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @varshil_gandhi

 ![AI_studio](https://d3qe71uytubmmx.cloudfront.net/original/3X/1/2/120c4864c069b21d0f1d253635b74c674bda4b93.jpeg)

You can still upload an audio or record directly here.  
Thank you

Oh okay, got it!

Actually, I was using the **Gemini 1.5 Nano (Banana)** model earlier, and in that version, the **Record Audio** option wasn’t available. Now I’ve switched to **Gemini 2.5 Pro** , and I can see the **Record Audio** feature there.

Thanks for clarifying!
