Can’t talk to my teammates

Can’t talk to my teammates - Ethnic woman with watering can speaking with teen near metal containers while looking at each other on farm

I picked Overwatch back up recently and have been grinding in competitive. But I’ve noticed that no matter what I try I can’t talk in team chat, I can hear my teammates but I can’t say anything.

My mic works fine, I can chat in Xbox parties, and I can chat perfectly fine in other games. Why can’t I talk to my team? I play on Xbox One.



Best Answer

I've had this problem in OW on and off forever. Here's what I do which normally fixes it:

  • In game, go into settings, and toggle Team Voice Chat off and on

  • Unplug and replug the microphone

  • repeat, with different combinations of having your mic plugged/unplugged with Team Voice chat toggled on/off.

It's really ridiculous that this problem has existed since the game came out and voice chat still doesn't work reliably.

Why cant my teammates hear me on fortnite?

Turn up your voice chat volume Be sure your volume is turned up (50% or higher) so you can hear it. If the volume is too low or the volume of your headset or speakers is too low, you won't able to hear your teammates.

A missing or outdated audio driver may stop mic from picking up voice. Make sure that the audio driver on your PC is up to date. There are two ways to update your audio driver: manually and automatically.
