On 2024-12-12 OpenAI began rolling out video input, including screenshare, for ChatGPT voice mode.
Resolved true The record shows it happened or was so.
Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?
Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.
What would count as true or false
True: dated OpenAI records (announcement, livestream, release notes, help-centre changelog) or contemporaneous reporting show that on or about 2024-12-12 OpenAI began rolling out video input for ChatGPT voice mode (Advanced Voice) and that the rollout included screen sharing. A staged rollout counts as 'rolling out' even if not all users had it that day. Mostly true: the video and screenshare rollout started as stated, but a minor detail was off, e.g. it started a day or two from the stated date or screenshare arrived for only some platforms. Mixed: video input began rolling out on that date but screenshare was not part of it, or the reverse. Mostly false: the features were only announced or demoed that day and the rollout started materially later, or they were limited to an internal or very small test that was not a rollout. False: evidence shows no such rollout began around that date, e.g. release notes put the feature's launch at a clearly different time or show it did not exist.
Set before the research began.

Reasoning
Same-day independent reports from VentureBeat [E1] and Digital Trends [E4] say that on 2024-12-12 OpenAI was rolling out video and screen-share input in ChatGPT's Advanced Voice Mode on its mobile apps. Neowin [E2, E3] confirms that the rollout of video and screen sharing in Advanced Voice had started, and that it was staged over the following week for Team, Plus and Pro users, with some regions excluded. Under the criteria, a staged rollout still counts as rolling out, and the rollout included screen sharing, so the proposition holds.
