Your first voice call

After connecting, select a channel in the sidebar and use its Join action. Viewing a channel’s chat and joining its voice room are separate actions.

Enable voice

Use the microphone control in your voice dock. If it says Enable voice, the audio engine is off. Open More, Settings, Voice to choose the input and output devices, then turn voice on.

Choose an activation mode

The Activation mode cards offer Voice activation, Continuous, and Push to talk. Voice activation transmits while you speak; Continuous transmits continuously; Push to talk transmits while your chosen shortcut is held.

Calibrate and listen

Choose Auto calibrate, press Calibrate, and speak naturally for about five seconds. The gate tunes its threshold, hysteresis, and hold to your microphone. Manual calibrate lets you adjust the Open and Close markers yourself.

Use Hear yourself, Record sample to record up to twenty seconds through the filters your listeners receive, then play it back. Join a test channel with a friend and confirm that the speaking indicator responds and they can hear the start and end of your sentences.

Mute and deafen

Mute stops outgoing audio. Deafen also stops incoming audio. Keep your microphone unmuted when using Push to talk; the shortcut controls transmission.

If speech cuts out, recalibrate or adjust the gate. If background noise leaks through, try another available noise-suppression algorithm. See Audio configuration for the processing and transmission controls.
