Monster Hunter Wilds: Guide to Using and Muting Voice Chat

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, voice chat is an essential feature for multiplayer interaction, though not everyone may wish to use it. Whether you prefer to communicate or maintain silence, knowing how to adjust these settings can enhance your gaming experience.

How to Use and Mute Voice Chat in Monster Hunter Wilds

All voice chat settings in *Monster Hunter Wilds* are found in the audio section of the menu. To access them, navigate to the options menu, either in-game or from the main menu screen, and select the tab third from the right. Scroll down to find the Voice Chat setting, which offers three options: enable, disable, and push-to-talk. Choosing 'enable' keeps voice chat constantly active, 'disable' turns it off completely, and 'push-to-talk' allows you to activate voice chat by pressing a designated key on your keyboard, though this feature is limited to keyboard users.

Additional settings include the voice chat volume, which adjusts the loudness of incoming voice chats, and the voice chat auto-toggle. The auto-toggle can be set to prioritize voice chat from quest members, link party members, or to remain static. Quest members are those you're directly playing with in a quest, making this the most commonly used setting. Link members are those in your link party, useful when guiding someone through the game's story, as you might need to wait during their cutscenes.

While the in-game voice chat in *Monster Hunter Wilds* may not match the quality of dedicated communication apps, having the option built-in is beneficial, especially for cross-platform play. For the best experience, consider using external apps like Discord, but the in-game settings are always there when you need them.
