World-of-warcraft – How does the in-game voice chat work

voice-chatworld of warcraft

I'm still kinda new to the game (still haven't even got my first 80), but I've played for the past couple months and noticed they have the new voice feature. But I've never heard anyone speaking.

I know people do use Ventrilo, and eventually TeamSpeak, but what about the in-game voice chat? How does it work? Does it work? Why people don't use it? I'd love being able to chat on Random Dungeons or even hear everyone screaming in Battle Grounds, like you can already do in Counter Strike for a long time already.

My wife and I do tank/heal while leveling our alts, and I have a macro that says people are welcome to join us in there. I've only had one person do it, but it's still an option. Beats typing it every time.

If you don't tell them they are there, they won't know you're there! :-)
