Thanks for reaching out, Sebastián. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.

Thanks — good question about manual control of session input/output. Yes. You can manually control session input and output in several ways: • Pre-connect audio buffering: capture audio before the agent fully connects via
AudioInputOptions
in
room_options
for
AgentSession
to reduce perceived latency. • Enable/disable audio at runtime: use
session.input.set_audio_enabled()
and
session.output.set_audio_enabled()
to toggle audio input/output (useful for push-to-talk or hybrid text/audio flows). • Mute input during processing: temporarily disable audio input so the agent won’t queue speech while you perform non-verbal tasks. • Manual turn control: set
turn_detection="manual"
in
TurnHandlingOptions
and control turns with
session.interrupt()
,
session.clear_user_turn()
, and
session.commit_user_turn()
. Would you like code examples for any of these (pre-connect buffering, runtime toggles, or manual turn APIs)? Sources: https://docs.livekit.io/agents/logic/sessions.md| | Text and transcriptions | LiveKit Documentation | Turns overview | LiveKit Documentation, with interactive elements
Thanks — I understand you meant “clear.” Yes — you can manually clear the session input buffer. Use
session.clear_user_turn()
to discard the current user input/turn. For output control, you can stop or interrupt agent speech with
session.interrupt()
and toggle audio in/out with
session.input.set_audio_enabled()
and
session.output.set_audio_enabled()
. If you want manual turn management (so turns only progress when you decide), set
turn_detection="manual"
in
TurnHandlingOptions
and then use
commit_user_turn()
to process or
clear_user_turn()
to discard. , with interactive elements
