same here. voice chat isn’t working for me. even if there is a sound when I Push to Talk, but the icon doesn’t show that I am talking and I have the voice chat nameplate turned on.
Same here, I’m on xbox and every other match I can hear and speak only for like 1/3 of the match and then I can’t hear or speak to team. I thought it was my mic so I bought a new one and wasn’t the case so I hope the maintenance their doing tmr fixes it
It’s been like this for me since like season 3 or something. I’ve looked into it and I just can’t figure out why it won’t work. My mic works on everything else I do, Discord and other games but just not OW.
Some networks have voice chat protocols or ports blocked. This is common on light-of-sight networks, schools, businesses, and even in a few countries (total blocking on the ISP). Some routers or modems also have blocks in place. The VoIP in Overwatch isn’t the same as Discord or others, so comparing the two won’t help narrow down the issue. I recommend opening a ticket with the staff and providing system files for them to review.
what I’ve been dealing with also since the drop of overwatch 2, wasn’t having any problem in the first overwatch.
I’ve been having this exact issue, tried everything and nothing has worked. I’ve sent a ticket in and they couldn’t help me saying it must be a network issue or a parental control thing. I know it isn’t since I’m on a normal account and I’ve done all the network troubleshooting. My brother who uses the same network as me has no problems.
I noticed the login menu said they did maintenance on voice chat earlier today, but mine is still broken
I honestly was praying that the maintenance was going to fix it but here I am still without voice chat. Pls fix.
Then you’ve narrowed it down to a setting on your computer. You might be able to get assistance from Microsoft on this since it’s an audio device issue.
I’m on ps4, overwatch is the only game that has a voice chat problem. I can use playstation party chat perfectly fine. I’ve even tried playing through remote play, which means I connect my headset and controller through my PC, thinking that maybe my ps4 connecting to my headset was the problem, but I still had the same issue (being that all other party chats work except overwatch). I’ve tried other headsets too and overwatch vc still doesn’t work.
I absolutely love how they have answer to everything, until you reveal that is clearly not a problem coming from you, then they suddenly vanish and do not answer anymore hahaha
Nah, I’m a volunteer and have a job outside that, so can’t monitor every reply the moment it comes in.
The only things that could prevent voice on PS4 are parental controls, the mute setting for the mic, or incompatible audio hardware for the console.
Look in channels under Group and check for mute on yourself and mute on the headset.
I’ve said though that its none of those things cause I’ve checked all that. Headset not muted, other mics don’t work either, I’m on an adult account. The problem for most of us seems to be that the game muted us from chat, but the button was greyed out so we couldn’t unmute or hear anyone else.
Anyway, a day after overwatch ran the voice chat maintenance my vc started working intermittently again. It seemed to be working properly today so far, and I did nothing since the maintenance to fix it. Which means it was a problem with overwatch itself like I’ve been saying. Glad they’ve seemed to fix it
Yeah I’ve been having the same issue for a while now, i play on xbox and My headset/mic works completely fine on everything else so i can assume that its a issue on blizzard’s end or something. Doesn’t make it any less frustrating
