How Do I Use Steam Voice?

Published in Steam Voice Chat 2 mins read

Using Steam Voice is straightforward! You can easily initiate a voice chat with your friends directly through the Steam client.

Here's how:

  • Initiate a Voice Chat from Your Friends List:

    1. Open your Steam client.
    2. Locate the friend you want to voice chat with in your friends list.
    3. Right-click on their name.
    4. Select "Start Voice Chat."
  • Initiate a Voice Chat from a Chat Window:

    1. Open a chat window with the friend you want to talk to.
    2. In the lower-right corner of the chat window, you'll see a microphone icon.
    3. Click the microphone icon to start the voice chat.

Additional Tips:

  • Microphone Setup: Ensure your microphone is properly connected and configured in your Steam settings. Go to Steam -> Settings -> Voice to adjust your input device and volume.
  • In-Game Voice Chat: Many games on Steam also have built-in voice chat features that are separate from the Steam Voice chat. Check the game's settings for voice chat options.
  • Group Voice Chat: You can invite multiple friends to a voice chat. Once you've started a voice chat with one friend, click the "+" icon in the chat window to invite more people.
  • Voice Chat Settings: Steam offers options to adjust microphone volume, voice activation sensitivity, and other settings to improve your voice chat experience. You can find these settings in the Steam client under Steam > Settings > Voice.
