Nearby audio

Supported recordings and calls can pick up the voices of players standing nearby. This works in camera recordings, voice memos, message voice notes, live streams and video calls.

Edit config/config.voice.lua and restart the phone after changes.

Feature	Toggle	Default radius
Camera recordings	`Config.NearbyAudio.CameraEnabled`	5 m
Live streams	`Config.NearbyAudio.LiveEnabled`	5 m
Video calls	`Config.NearbyAudio.VideoCallEnabled`	5 m
Message voice notes	`Config.NearbyAudio.MessagesEnabled`	3 m
Voice memos	`Config.VoiceRecorder.NearbySyncEnabled`	3 m (`VoiceRecorderRadius`)

Each toggle has a matching radius field.
Up to eight nearby players are captured by default.
The server caps radii at 20 m and players at 16.
DirectVoiceFallbackRadius applies to voice providers that report no proximity range. PMA uses its own replicated range.

Nearby audio uses WebRTC and only works with a working TURN relay.

Set up TURN with the Video Calls / TURN guide, in config/config.upload.lua. Dynamic relay stays off until you configure it.
Keep credentials in the server-only locations that guide lists.
Test with nearby players on different networks. A voice provider setting alone does not give relay connectivity.

Config.Voice.Loudspeaker controls speaker mode in voice calls. Answered video calls always use speaker mode.
Voice Commands are separate. They run locally and never upload audio.
