The direct answer
GPT-Live video is not a released capability as of July 28, 2026. Do not confuse visual answers or image attachments with continuous camera input. For live camera or screen sharing, use Advanced Voice on a supported mobile plan.

Choose the right input for the job
Walk through a physical scene
Use Advanced Voice camera input on a supported mobile account when the model needs a changing live view.
Get help inside an app
Use Advanced Voice screen sharing on supported mobile devices, and avoid exposing passwords, private messages, or unrelated notifications.
Troubleshooting a missing camera or screen-share button
First confirm which Voice mode is selected. Live intentionally has no camera or screen-sharing control at launch. Switch to Advanced under Settings → Voice if your account offers it.
Video and screen sharing are limited to eligible subscribers in supported ChatGPT iOS and Android apps. Update the app, grant camera or screen-recording permission, and verify that a workspace admin has not disabled Voice.
Daily and per-conversation video limits apply. Reaching a video limit may still leave audio Voice available. Start a new conversation only when the product indicates the per-conversation limit, and wait for the daily allowance to reset when required.
