Console voice chat just randomly stopped working

Bug Report
1

I play Overwatch on the playstation 4 and my voice chat just randomly stopped working a few weeks ago. I can join voice chat, but I get no indicator that I’m speaking I’m also not getting any error messages. My mic sounds perfect on other games it’s literally just Overwatch that I’m having problems with. I also can’t hear my teammates, oddly enough I can see the indicator in the top right when they’re speaking, but I can’t hear anything that they’re saying. Here’s a list of things I’ve taken into consideration

  • I am not muted
  • I am not under the age of 18
  • I am not chat banned
  • I do not have push to talk enabled
  • I’ve tried deleting and redownloading Overwatch

If anyone’s had a similar experience to mine or knows how to fix my problem their input would be greatly appreciated

Having the same issue here for months.

My partner is on ps5 and I am on Xbox. He can hear me, but I can’t hear him. I can see that he is speaking.

I’d say out of the last 20+ times we’ve tried it’s worked randomly for one play session, and for 5 minutes in another, before losing sound again.

We’ve tried everything to troubleshoot.

Cross platform VC in Discord doesn’t work either.

Plan to just switch to Rivals if this isn’t fixed.
