Voice Comments in Figma: How to Add Audio & Video Feedback
Typing out design feedback is slow, and it strips away your tone — so a thoughtful note can read as blunt. Voice comments fix that: you just say what you mean, and the designer hears it. Here's exactly how to add voice and video feedback to Figma.
Does Figma have voice comments?
No — Figma's built-in comments are text-only. There's no native way to leave a voice or audio comment on a frame. To add voice comments in Figma you use a widget like Murmur, which pins audio and screen-recorded notes to the exact element, played back inside the file.
How to add voice comments in Figma (with Murmur)
- Install Murmur — add the Figma widget and the Chrome extension.
- Select the element you want to comment on.
- Hit record in the Murmur extension to capture a voice note (or your screen).
- It pins to the canvas as a playable note on that element.
- Discuss — teammates play it back, react, and reply in a text thread on the note.
Why leave voice feedback instead of typing?
- It's faster — a 20-second note often replaces three paragraphs.
- It carries tone — encouragement and nuance land the way you intend.
- It's in context — pinned to the exact element, so nothing is ambiguous.
- It feels personal — designers feel heard, not handed a cold checklist.
