overwatchvoice-chat
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.
I found that there is no way to do this in-game for the gamepad.
For en-us keyboard the N key will activate push-to-talk by default.
However, various utils (depending on your gamepad) can be used to map one of the gamepad buttons to the push-to-talk button (N key).
Since this game makes good use of all gamepad buttons, remapping one of the gamepad buttons for push-to-talk is unreasonable to do, and therefore the best option when doing voice chat with GTAV:PC is to use voice-activated+mute.
DISCLAIMER
Yes, I know that this is the norm for console gamers, but us oldskool PC gamers are used to push-to-talk. It is especially handy for those of us with large/busy households, or who are gaming in public / cafes / etc which is the great thing about PC games: you can play them on a laptop!
If you go into the options menu, you'll see the option to toggle teammate health. Note that Zarya also has this option as well; the exact instructions that follow are the same except to pick Zarya from the All Heroes dropdown menu.
As of an older update Blizzard made it able to enable this option across all heroes.
You'll need to go to:
The option is labelled "Allied Health Bars". Toggle On to show.
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.
