### Answer
 

Retell AI does **not** currently support bringing your own API keys for third-party providers like ElevenLabs, Deepgram, or OpenAI. [(1) ](<https://discord.com/channels/1186424376300679209/1306210902067904552>) [(2) ](<https://discord.com/channels/1186424376300679209/1232659853676253245>)

When asked about using own provider API keys (e.g., from ElevenLabs grants) , Retell has stated: "we dont support bring your own key now." [(1) ](<https://discord.com/channels/1186424376300679209/1306210902067904552>)

Similarly, regarding ElevenLabs specifically: "We dont have bring your own key right now. May consider it in the future." [(2) ](<https://discord.com/channels/1186424376300679209/1232659853676253245>)

For Retell's **own** API keys (used to authenticate with Retell's REST API, SDKs, and webhooks) , you can create and manage multiple keys per workspace in the dashboard under Settings > API Keys.
