Definition
Full-duplex communication means audio can be sent and received simultaneously, so both parties can speak and be heard at the same time. This enables natural interruptions during a call.
Why it matters
Full-duplex is what allows barge-in and overlapping speech, making agent conversations feel genuinely interactive.
