OpenAI introduces “Santa Mode” to ChatGPT for ho-ho-ho voice chats

An AI version of old St. Nick arrives as a seasonal character in popular chatbot app.

Along with the Santa update, OpenAI announced it is beginning to roll out video and screen sharing capabilities to ChatGPT's Advanced Voice Mode, which is a feature the company has teased since the introduction of GPT-4o in May. The new video and screen sharing tools let users show their surroundings or display content directly rather than describing items or uploading photos. Plus and Pro subscribers in most countries will be able to have real-time video conversations through the mobile app, though users in several European regions including the EU will gain access at a later date.
