I'm glad you reached out! LiveKit is designed to handle interruptions during agent speech smoothly. When a user jumps in, the agent can pause and respond right away. This is managed through settings like

allow_interruptions

and

min_interruption_duration

, which you can tweak to get the interruption behavior just right for your needs. To help you get this working perfectly, please check that: •

allow_interruptions

is set to

True

. • Your Voice Activity Detection (VAD) or Speech-to-Text (STT) is set up correctly to catch when the user speaks. • Optional settings like

min_interruption_duration

or

min_interruption_words

are adjusted to fit your specific scenario. If you'd like, I'm here to guide you through configuring these settings step-by-step. Just let me know!
