Want to use or mute voice chat in Monster Hunter Wilds? While it's a multiplayer game, you're not obligated to chat. However, if you wish to communicate directly within the game (without using Discord or similar services), here's how to manage voice chat settings.

All voice chat settings are located within the game's audio options. Navigate to the options menu (accessible in-game or from the main menu), then select the third tab from the right. Scroll down slightly to find the Voice Chat settings. You'll have three options: Enable, Disable, and Push-to-Talk. "Enable" keeps voice chat constantly active; "Disable" turns it off completely; and "Push-to-Talk" requires you to press a designated key to activate your microphone (keyboard only).
Further options include adjusting voice chat volume and configuring voice chat auto-toggle. Auto-toggle allows you to prioritize voice chat with either your current quest members, your link party members, or disable automatic switching entirely. Quest members are those currently participating in the same hunt, making it the most common choice. Link members are those in a link party with you, ideal for collaborative story progression or assistance, as it handles situations where you may need to wait for cutscenes.
That covers voice chat in Monster Hunter Wilds. While the audio quality may not match dedicated communication apps, the in-game option remains convenient, particularly for cross-platform play.
