How to turn off voice chat - Rocket League

Here is how you can turn off voice chat in Rocket League.

7

Rocket League now features voice chat for players to use. Not only does this allow players to better coordinate, but it lets players chat and communicate in a game that previously only featured text chat. However, some players may want to just opt out of this feature entirely. Let's look at how you can disable voice chat in Rocket League.

How to turn off voice chat - Rocket League

To turn off voice chat in Rocket League, open the settings and click on the Audio tab. un-check the box that says "Enable Voice Chat." This screen is also where you can change your audio input/output device, as well as enable Push to Talk.

You can also change your voice chat from team to party. While team chat allows you to talk to anybody that gets placed on your team, party chat will keep you in a voice channel only with the players you have invited or joined. If you really want to cut communication with other players entirely, this tab can also be used to disable text chat in Rocket League, which usually allows you to talk to not only your team, but the opponent as well.

If you disable voice chat entirely, you won’t be able to hear any audio communication from your teammates, and vice versa. If you’re playing with friends, maybe chat with them in a Discord call or Xbox/PlayStation party. Disabling this feature can also help you dodge any random unpleasant players that you may come across in matchmaking.

      Good god that game can be toxic. I quit playing for a couple years so decided to go at it.

      Of course I suck but I am playing in the casual que. I got screamed at by I believe both teams.

      Good times....🙄 The game should have voice off by default with a on screen popup giving you a shortcut to turn it on. Did I play anymore? nahhh, I got into it on launch and put around 50hrs in but that was ages ago. I'll take my old man gaming elsewhere thank you very much.

          It's amazing how salty quick chat can get too.

              This game made me admit to myself that I'm just too old for these ultra-competitive e-sports games. I just don't have the time to get any good at it and being perpetually awful doesn't sound like fun.

            You can turn on Tactical Quick Chat as well to reduce your sodium intake.

          Team chat only and maybe quick chat only as well. This is the way. The voice chat in Rocket League has always been terrible, both for quality and all the kiddies screaming.

          I'm terrible at letting the toxic chat get to me so I went team chat only a while ago and I've been playing better ever since.

        Is there a reasonably popular multiplayer game that isnt?

          RL seems a little different, everything is on full display for your team and the other team to see at all times. If you make a mistake it's apparent immediately. CSGO or something your teammate covering long A isn't going to have a front row view immediately when you whiffed an AWP shot at B

      lol, no voice chat on EGS.

      tyvm, working as intended. =D

      Queuing into 3v3 with randos is already a dice roll, toxic chat makes an unfun game a session ending event somtimes. I've found that PC lobbies are more toxic due to people being able to type readily. Toxic Quick Chat is mostly amusing until that person also starts throwing the game.

      I've busted myself from Plat back down to Silver this month, broke back in to Gold. Been meaning to swing through the Shack RL Discord when my buddies aren't hollering for me to play something else.
