It’s a great console with amazing versatility. Playing games either from your living room or on the go adds a great deal of value to the experience. Whether you’re playing from home or out and about, multiplayer gameplay is bound to happen at some point, and you’re going to want to talk to your friends. But how? We’ll explain how to use voice chat on Nintendo Switch today.
Though Xbox and PlayStation have party chat and lobby voice chat built into their operating systems, the Nintendo Switch doesn’t, at least not on the console. In order to use voice chat in many games, players must install an app on their phones.
When playing games on Switch, you’ll need to use your phone and have the app running.
For a portable gaming console, this is odd. Nevertheless, let’s look at how it works so you can finally talk to others in-game.
-
Get started by downloading the Nintendo Switch Online app from your app store.
-
Sign in to your Nintendo Switch account next.
-
Use the same account across the Switch and Nintendo Switch Online app to start a voice chat-compatible game.
-
It’s time to start a voice chat multiplayer mode.
-
Your smart device will prompt you to start voice chat after you do that.
-
Players will be able to speak to you after you accept chatting.
-
You can mute yourself or leave the voice chat using the chat menu.
-
A headset, earbuds with a mic, or even your smart device’s own mic can be used to chat.
It’s that easy!
