From the Multimodal Live Api docs I read:
“System instructions can only be set at the beginning of a session, immediately following the initial connection. To provide further input to the model during the session, use incremental content updates.”
Unfortunately, in the section dedicated to incremental update the example only shows a (empty??) chat. Does anyone know how to structure a message to provide incremental update for the instructions? Moreover if later on I want to replace the instruction provided how would I do so? Thanks for any help or pointers!

Hi @openlycounterbalance Apologies for late response
System instructions : Set once at the beginning of a session during connection establishment
Incremental content updates (send_client_content) : Used to add conversational turns (user inputs, model outputs) to build the session’s context and continue the dialogue.
To change system instructions : You must end the current session and initiate a new one with the updated system_instruction.
Please let me know if you are still facing this issue .
Thank you
