For those of you who have not tried this. Try updating your controller, I’ve been having this issue for months. This finally fixed it!
Hey all,
This is still a thing that Vivox is working on, but it appears that some of you are assuming that you have an unfixable bug when you may be able to fix things on your end. To be clear - this is not a consistent bug which affects all players always. There is something we’re investigating with Vivox to help with this, but some of you may be able to troubleshoot this on your own. To test this, follow this guide and do connection troubleshooting if it fails.

I’ve tried everything in the guide but I still can not seem to get in-game chat to work for me. It’s been like this for about a month now. It will work for party chat but my in-game chat is completely silent both ways.
Using wireless controller with HyperX wired headset.
To be honest there isn’t a thing I can do with Blizzard’s “appreciation”. I need action. Okay so your 3rd party provider “looked into it”. Well it’s been 3 months now. So either follow up with them or find a new provider. This is insane.
I’ve been playing CoD Black Ops 1 for 3 weeks because of this… a 10 year old game and guess what, the voice chat works. Amazing and embarrassing at the same time for Blizzard.
I love this game but I will not spend another cent on anything OW related until we have a playable competitive experience on Xbox. I’ve purchased multiple copies and more merch than I care to admit to, but no more.
I look forward to hearing updates on this issue soon.

Seeing more and more posts about this popping up and still being a issue… yeah doesn’t entice me back. I lost out of the Maestro event AND the Anniversary event because I didn’t even want to attempt returning. Sad panda.

I’ve been having this issue for a month or so at least with my wired headset. It works in every other game and in parties but not Overwatch. I have an Arris router and I’ve tried unplugging the mic, toggling stuff both in game and on the xbox itself, and restarting the game. Please help I’m sick of getting yelled at in team chat lol
It’s worse than ever now

Fix your trash game! This is actually so sad that this has been going on for so long, trash company. I can’t play your game, your game! The game that you made is now unplayable and I would think a company would want to keep its player base, which is dying so fast because of this stupid bug.
Well I tried all the other suggestions on here and sadly none of them worked. I tried updating controller, alternate mac address clear, hard resets and changing to wifi connection; none of them worked at all.
I have also tried on my kid’s Xbox One as well. None of the game chats worked; no matter who was signed into Overwatch. My mic still works fine with other games.
Comp can be pretty frustrating to say the least.

Just came back to playing this game after 4 years. Realized my chat wouldn’t work…I was annoyed by it only to find this thread. What a wholesale failure of a staff/third party vendor. Your players have been dealing with this for 4 months??? Quite literally one of the most important parts of this game…communication. And you leave players to sit and wait to be able to play the game. That’s a fairly pathetic attempt to show you care about players.

Why wont blizzard fix this issue? Do they not care? I’m starting to think about just not playing anymore because of this…
Had issue since echo patch and only workaround I’ve had is to hard reset my Xbox by holding the power button till it powers down. Idk of this will help anyone else but it’s worth a try ig… Just keep in mind if u start any other game, go into Xbox party chat you will have to hard reset your Xbox to be able to talk in overwatch
