Overview

Omi streams raw audio bytes from your device to any webhook endpoint you configure. Use this to build custom audio processing, live transcription, or recording workflows.

Any Backend

Stream to your own server, cloud function, or local dev environment

Configurable Interval

Choose how often you receive audio chunks (e.g. every 5, 10, or 30 seconds)

Raw Audio

Receive raw PCM bytes — add a WAV header to save as audio files

​
Setup

Create a Webhook Endpoint

Build an endpoint that accepts POST requests with raw audio bytes.Omi sends requests in this format:

Configure in the Omi App

  1. Open the Omi app
  2. Go to Settings → Developer Mode
  3. Scroll to Realtime audio bytes
  4. Enter your webhook URL
  5. Set the interval (e.g. 10 for every 10 seconds)

Verify

Audio bytes should start arriving at your endpoint. The data is raw PCM — to save as a playable audio file, prepend a WAV header to the accumulated bytes.

​
Example: Save to Google Cloud Storage

A complete example that saves audio chunks as WAV files in GCS.

Set Up GCS

Follow the Cloud Audio Storage guide to create a bucket and get credentials.

Deploy the Example

  1. Fork github.com/mdmohsin7/omi-audio-streaming
  2. Clone and deploy to any cloud provider (GCP, AWS, DigitalOcean) or run locally with ngrok
  3. Set these environment variables:
The repo includes a Dockerfile for easy deployment.

Connect

Set the endpoint in the Omi app under Realtime audio bytes to:
Audio files will appear in your GCS bucket at the configured interval.
