Elai Service Update 2026-05-14

Brianna Parker

This update will be applied at the end of business hours on May 14, 2026.

The Avatar Library has been updated to include three new filter items: Scenario, Side View, and Poses.

As part of this update, we've also introduced a dedicated Poses filter along with a Poses badge displayed on supported avatars, so you can instantly recognize which avatars offer pose variations at a glance.

The Custom Templates experience has been updated across the editor and template library to give you clearer control over template publishing and status. These updates include:

• Templates automatically revert to Draft status after changes are saved and must be explicitly republished to become available.
  
• Updated Publish / Republish actions for clearer intent.
  
• Visible Published / Draft status indicator directly in the editor.
  
• A confirmation dialog now appears when leaving an editor with an unpublished template, preventing accidental loss of unpublished changes.

Template library updates include:

• New Published toggle in the template list for quick status filtering.
  
• Unpublished templates can no longer be used to create videos.
  
• The Create Video flow now displays clear guidance when no published templates are available.

In-product indicators have been added to help you identify ElevenLabs voices that will no longer be available after December 31, 2026.

The following voices will be affected: Roger, Sarah, Laura, Charlie, George, Callum, River, Harry, Liam, Alice, Matilda, Will, Jessica, Eric, Chris, Brian, Daniel, Lily, and Bill.
