Valorant: How to use voice chat - tips and info

Communication is very important in tactical shooters. Valorant it has an integrated voice chat for this reason. Our guide explains the advantages and which setting options are available.

Exchanging information: Voice chat is important for success in Valorant.

There is hardly enough time to chat while playing - and certainly not in fast-paced first-person shooters like Valorant. Consequently, the only effective communication channel is via voice chat.

Valorant with built-in voice chat

Integrated voice chat in the game means that you don't have to resort to external programs like TeamSpeak or Discord. This not only conserves computer resources, but also simplifies organization. In Valorant, under "Settings" you will find the "Audio" section and there "Voice Chat". There you can see:

• There you can set, for example, the volume as well as the sensitivity of the microphone.
• In addition, you can decide whether the voice chat should be automatically active only in your group or also with foreign teammates from matchmaking.
• Also mandatory: The choice between automatic micro activation and push-to-talk.

It is clear: You can also play Valorant completely without voice chat, but then you have to do without the important communication. Speziell in gewerteten Matches ist dies praktisch undenkbar, in Random-Spielen allerdings eher die Regel.
