Not sure if anyone noticed but I feel like Figma Audio Chat has been generally less reliable ever since the switch to UI3. One of the main issues we’ve discovered when working with our developers on Figma is the audio chat disconnecting while we switch between Dev and Design mode. It’s a normal part of our process to make changes in design mode and switch back to developer mode to review things while discussing with our developers.
The audio chat module has also been noticeably buggy ever since the switch to UI3 as a mentioned. It would disappear when I’ve joined a session, join button may appear even when I’m already in the audio chat, follow and spotlight feature may appear finicky as well.
Since then we’ve switched to calling outside of Figma so it’s not the biggest deal, however it would be nice to have these things fixed so we could seamlessly collaborate without switching to a different platform for audio chats.
Figma Voice disconnect when switching in and out of Dev Mode
It's truly frustrating when Figma's built-in audio chat, which is essentially a VoIP feature, becomes unreliable after updates like UI3. The constant disconnections when switching between Dev/Design modes and persistent bugs in the audio module like disappearing UI or faulty buttons significantly hinder seamless collaboration. While using external calling is a workaround, fixing these VoIP issues would greatly improve in-platform teamwork.
