Voice chat in Fall Guys functions the best when partied up hence to do so. Players will need to make their way to the Party menu, located in the bottom left corner of the in-game screen in the main menu.

PC users can click on the icon, with the console users having access to it by maneuvering the analog and clicking on the button shown.

Players can now invite friends to join their party from here. However, the title will only allow up to three other friends to join the party for now. In party mode, voice chat will be active, or players can manually activate it by clicking the chat option that will be present at the bottom of the screen.


2) Activating Voice Chat

If the voice chat issue arises because of the game’s parental controls, then Fall Guys players will be able to fix it by going to the Settings menu of the game. For PC users, it will be on the top right portion of the screen, while console users can access it through their Start/Menu/+ button.

Layers should then navigate to the Audio Menu, where they will find several headings for all the audio options the title offers. The second option will be Party Voice Chat, whose option at times is turned off on the default settings.

Players will need to turn that on, and only then will they be able to communicate with the rest of the players in the party. After turning to the party, players can select “Join Chat” at the bottom of the menu, and they will not be able to talk to and listen to their party members automatically.
