In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, voice chat is an integral part of the multiplayer experience, but it's completely up to you whether to engage in conversations or enjoy the game in silence. If you choose to use the in-game voice chat instead of external platforms like Discord, here's how you can set it up or mute it effortlessly.

How to Use and Mute Voice Chat in Monster Hunter Wilds

To access the voice chat settings, navigate to the audio section within the game's menu. You can do this either in-game or from the main menu screen. Look for the tab third from the right, and scroll down to find the Voice Chat setting. You have three options here: Enable, Disable, and Push-to-Talk. Choosing Enable will keep the voice chat on continuously, Disable will turn it off entirely, and Push-to-Talk lets you activate it by pressing a button on your keyboard, though this feature is exclusive to keyboard users.

Additionally, you can adjust the Voice Chat Volume to control how loud the chat is for you. Another useful setting is Voice Chat Auto-Toggle, which can be configured to prioritize communication with your quest members, link party members, or to not switch automatically. Quest members are those you're directly playing with in a quest, which is generally the most used setting. Link members refer to those in your link party, which is handy if you're guiding someone through the story and need to wait for them during cutscenes.

While *Monster Hunter Wilds* offers in-game voice chat, the audio quality might not match that of dedicated communication apps. For the best experience, especially in cross-platform play, we recommend using external apps. However, having the in-game option is always a convenient backup.
