Respawn Entertainment’s Apex Legends is a thrilling battle royale game in which players start with no weapons and equipment and battle against other squads to be the last team standing. As the match proceeds, the safe zone gradually shrinks, pushing the opponents closer together. The multiplayer game has up to 20 squads in a match, with each squad consisting of three players.
Like most battle royale games, communication is the key to victory in Apex Legends, and sharing key information, such as the enemy's location or asking for a revive, can be the difference between winning and losing a fight. Luckily, the game supports voice chat to ensure seamless communication.
How to Join Voice Chat in Apex Legends
- Go to Settings and scroll down to the ‘Accessibility’ section. Once there, locate the ‘Enable Accessible Chat Features’ option and enable it by clicking the arrows next to it. Once activated, players will be able to send and receive both text and voice chat in Apex Legends.
- Players can also opt to play text chat from other players as verbal speech. To enable this feature, navigate to the ‘Play Incoming Text Chat as Speech’ and turn it on.
- Similarly, Apex Legends can also convert the incoming voice chat from players to written text. To enable it, find the ‘Convert Incoming Voice Chat to Text Chat’ under the ‘Enable Accessible Chat Features’ and click ‘Active.’
When it comes to sending voice chat in Apex Legends, players have two options, i.e., push to talk and open mic. Push to talk requires players to hold the ‘T’ button to activate the microphone, while the open mic feature sends voice automatically whenever it detects sound above a certain threshold.
To select a recording mode, players can go to the ‘Audio’ section, navigate to the ‘Voice Chat Record Mode,’ and select their desired mode. Moreover, gamers can also adjust the dialogue volume, music volume, background sound, sound effects volume, and lobby music volume by going to the ‘Advanced’ heading under the same section.
How to Mute Teammates in Apex Legends
Here’s how players can mute their teammates in Apex Legends:
- Open the inventory, go to the ‘Squads’ tab, and click the ‘Speaker’ icon found under the player’s profile.
- To disable voice chat, go to Settings and navigate to the ‘Disable Voice Chat’ option under the ‘Gameplay’ section. Once located, activate it to turn off the voice chat. And yes, players can enable it again in case they change their minds in the future.
Apex Legends is available to play on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch.
