Voice Channels

  • Updated
Guilded's voice chat is one of its most popular features, and we're always working to make it even better. In recent updates, we've introduced some powerful new tools to help you communicate with your team more effectively.

 

  • Enjoy high-quality audio bitrates of up to 256kbs for a seamless voice chat experience.
  • Organize your team communications better by creating custom voice rooms within your voice channels for easy navigation.
  • Use the broadcasting feature to quickly send messages to all voice rooms at once, perfect for raid leaders and team managers.
  • Directly chat with individual team members without interrupting the whole group by using the whisper feature, which allows multiple whisper hotkeys at once.
  • Use the priority speaking hotkey to make your voice stand out over the rest of the chatter. Sometimes you just need a megaphone!

The voice chat bitrate is set to 96kbps by default; lowering the bitrate can improve performance if anyone has a poorer connection.

Optimize your voice chat experience by changing the server region to improve ping.
