Whether you want to communicate with your friends or keep things muted, I’m here to break down everything you need to know about using voice chat in XDefiant.

How to use voice chat in XDefiant

To toggle voice chat in XDefiant during a match, you only need to head to your score menu and press the corresponding button at the bottom of the screen to enable or disable voice chat. In the case of the PlayStation I’m using, it’s the square button.

Doing this will either mute or activate voice chat for your entire party. However, you can also mute individuals by hovering over their names and selecting mute so you can’t hear them.
