description: Build real-time voice AI applications using Azure AI Voice Live SDK (azure-ai-voicelive). Use this skill when creating Python applications that need real-time bidirectional audio communication with Azure AI, including voice assistants, voice-enabled chatbots, real-time speech-to-speech translation, voice-driven avatars, or any WebSocket-based audio streaming with AI models. Supports Server VAD (Voice Activity Detection), turn-based conversation, function calling, MCP tools, avatar integration, and transcription.

# Azure AI Voice Live SDK

Build real-time voice AI applications with bidirectional WebSocket communication.

## Installation

```bash
pip install azure-ai-voicelive aiohttp azure-identity
```

## Environment Variables

```bash
AZURE_COGNITIVE_SERVICES_ENDPOINT=https://<region>.api.cognitive.microsoft.com  # Required for all auth methods
AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=prod # Required only if DefaultAzureCredential is used in production
AZURE_COGNITIVE_SERVICES_KEY=<api-key>  # Only required for the legacy API-key auth path below
```

## Authentication & Lifecycle

> **🔑 Two rules apply to every code sample below:**
>
> 1. **Prefer `DefaultAzureCredential`.** It works locally (Azure CLI / VS Code / Developer CLI) and in Azure (managed identity, workload identity) with no code change. Avoid connection strings, account/API keys — they bypass Entra audit and rotation.
>    - Local dev: `DefaultAzureCredential` works as-is.
>    - Production: set `AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=prod` (or `AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=<specific_credential>`) to constrain the credential chain to production-safe credentials.
> 2. **Wrap every client in a context manager** so HTTP transports, sockets, and token caches are released deterministically:
>    - Sync: `with <Client>(...) as client:`
>    - Async: `async with <Client>(...) as client:` **and** `async with DefaultAzureCredential() as credential:` (from `azure.identity.aio`)
>
> Snippets may abbreviate this setup, but production code should always follow both rules.

```python
import os
from azure.ai.voicelive.aio import connect
from azure.identity.aio import DefaultAzureCredential, ManagedIdentityCredential

# Local dev: DefaultAzureCredential. Production: set AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=prod or AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=<specific_credential>
# Or use a specific credential directly in production:
# See https://learn.microsoft.com/python/api/overview/azure/identity-readme?view=azure-python#credential-classes
# credential = ManagedIdentityCredential()

async with DefaultAzureCredential(require_envvar=True) as credential:
    async with connect(
        endpoint=os.environ["AZURE_COGNITIVE_SERVICES_ENDPOINT"],
        credential=credential,
        model="gpt-4o-realtime-preview",
        credential_scopes=["https://cognitiveservices.azure.com/.default"]
    ) as conn:
        ...
```

### Legacy: API Key (existing keyed deployments)

New code should use `DefaultAzureCredential` above. Use `AzureKeyCredential` only if you have an existing keyed deployment that hasn't been migrated to Entra ID yet — for example, regulated environments still completing their Entra rollout.

```python
import os
from azure.core.credentials import AzureKeyCredential
from azure.ai.voicelive.aio import connect

async with connect(
    endpoint=os.environ["AZURE_COGNITIVE_SERVICES_ENDPOINT"],
    credential=AzureKeyCredential(os.environ["AZURE_COGNITIVE_SERVICES_KEY"]),
    model="gpt-4o-realtime-preview",
) as conn:
    ...
```

## Quick Start

```python
import asyncio
import os
from azure.ai.voicelive.aio import connect
from azure.identity.aio import DefaultAzureCredential

async def main():
    async with connect(
        endpoint=os.environ["AZURE_COGNITIVE_SERVICES_ENDPOINT"],
        credential=DefaultAzureCredential(),
        model="gpt-4o-realtime-preview",
        credential_scopes=["http
