How to set up a voice channel                                                        
 
We've completely revamped voice channels with a brand new layout, new features, and significantly improved voice quality. Here's what's new:
  • We have significantly improved quality and stability. We gave the ok to add the most powerful servers, allowing you to chat with zero downtime and 256kbs audio bitrates - all 100% free.
  • Voice rooms. Now you can create custom voice rooms within your voice channels, allowing you to organize your team comms better and jump between conversations on the fly.
  • Broadcasting. With a hotkey press, leaders can now broadcast a message to all voice rooms at once - great for raid leaders.
  • Whispers. Now you can chat directly with anyone, without speaking to the whole group, with just the press of a hotkey. You can whisper to any combination of members, and you can have multiple whisper hotkeys active at once.
  • Priority speaking, because sometimes you need a megaphone. Use your priority speaking hotkey to make your voice stand out over the rest of the chatter.

    Note: Voice chat will always work better on the desktop app; if you join Voice chat in a browser session, you will get a pop-up warning before joining the voice room.

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

You can change your voice server region to improve ping.

Your avatar will show in the voice channel you're connected to. A green dot will indicate that you're connected to Voice chat, and the voice control panel will appear at the bottom right of your window.
