The release of the new installment of the iconic game Overwatch has made old fans come back. According to the developers of the game, Blizzard, 25 million people entered the game in the first days of release. Understandably, there were problems with connectivity.

On the one hand, this can not be disappointing, because it proves that the game is interested in players from all over the world. And they want to play it. On the other hand, there are other problems that gamers face. For example, the problem with the microphone in Overwatch 2.

How To Fix Voice Chat Not Working in Overwatch 2?

First of all, check if your microphone is working in real life. Maybe it's broken, or you forgot to plug it in. Then pay attention to the settings in the game itself. Perhaps you are muted, so no one can hear you. Or you may have chosen the wrong microphone device.

Also, check the settings of the microphone in your system. To do that:

Search in Windows Bar and Open "Microphone Privacy Settings."
Turn on "Microphone access."
Check "Let desktop apps access your microphone."

Don't forget to make sure that it's the default device:

Locate your control panel.
Search "Hardware and Sound."
Click "Sound," select microphone, and make it "default device."

If you're playing Overwatch 2 on Xbox, you should locate "Audio and Music" and then turn on "Headset Mic."
