Vapi AI

Hey all, using the web SDK with click-to-activate. Taking about 8 seconds from click to the assistant greeting the user. Anyone know if there's a way to speed this up or pre-warm the session? Happy to be pointed to docs or previous threads, thanks

I'm not seeing anythign specifc that would cause this to happen.  I've asked around the team but in the meantime, I would open a ticket in <#1211483291191083018> with your assistant ID in case i don't find you a good path forward they can look into your situation specifically

okay - got an answer.  That delay exists for video calls bc they take mroe time to start up from our webRTC provider

```{ artifactPlan: { videoRecordingEnabled: false } }```

that snippet will disable video recording in your assistant config and should save you ~5 seconds

thanks Amanda, applied this, shaved off about 1-2s. still looking for ways to further reduce. Will keep working on it and if you find anything else that may help please do let me know
