Meta says US users can now video chat with their Muse AI avatar

The instant ability to video chat blurs the line between human friend and digital companion, promising more immersive interaction on the platform. The announcement arrived alongside a cluster of reports published the same day, underscoring the rapid rollout. Users can now cue the avatar to respond instantly, turning a static profile into an interactive companion. The feature arrives as Meta expands Muse with real‑time voice and animated avatars, adding a voice mode and dance routines that can pop up in TikTok‑style clips and Instagram Stories.

WebWire spotlights the new voice capability, while The Verge confirms the voice mode is now live. The Next Web details the integration of animated avatars and real‑time chat, and TechCrunch reports the video‑chat functionality for U.S. accounts. Tom’s Guide adds that Muse AI can now perform TikTok dances and is slated for Instagram Stories, broadening its social presence. The rollout raises the question of how users will adopt avatar conversations and whether additional social channels will gain similar AI‑driven experiences.

Future updates may reveal broader geographic availability or deeper integration with Meta’s ecosystem. Observers will watch for announcements on expanding the feature beyond the United States and for any new platform extensions that follow the Muse enhancements.
