What is Lyra?
Lyra Voice Platform
Lyra is the latest version of the 2talk voice platform. It replaces 2talk Plus.
Lyra is the platform that will be supported and developed going forward by the 2talk Team.
All new voice features, including AI Voice solutions, will be delivered on Lyra.
As we phase out 2talk Plus, all 2talk voice users will eventually need to transition to Lyra. Initially, this will be an opt‑in process, and later we’ll move to performing graceful, automated migrations.
Any 2talk retail account can be moved to Lyra. If you have a current Teams or BYOC trunk you will need to reach out to the support team for assistance with your migration. For other connection methods please see our Migrating to Lyra article
