[Sept 26] Voice Chat not Working

Technical Support
1

Myself and several others in the general chat lobby seem to not be able to join/use Voice chat in competitive games.

Is there something wrong with the voice servers? I was using them fine earlier today.

Also having this issue. A friend said it showed I was in team chat, but I wasn’t getting system messages and I logged in and out of both team and group chat. It showed me I was in them, but no mic and no one else was in there.

I restarted my computer and headset. Logged back in and the same thing. So I was coming here for answers as well. I got game sounds, but no voice chat.

Hey again,

Our Overwatch engineers have identified the issue and are working on a solution to get voice chat functional once more. Apologies for the down comms this evening everyone!

ranked mode needs to be disabled for now or at least a message should pop up. i just lost sr because of being unable to communicate without knowing about this problem.

I have been having this same problem for weeks now. I have spent too much time troubleshooting, and it has made the game unenjoyable. Unable to communicate warnings to my team mates. Getting booted from groups for that very reason, and with no ability to argue about it. This is a severe game play handicap and there are no answers.

Just to follow-up on this, the problem was resolved and voice chat has been restored!

Thanks you all for the reports on this when it happened. See you in game.
