Communication / Voice chat
Big Walk voice chat and mic not working fixes
Keep communication inside the walk
Big Walk is designed around proximity voice and text. Both share intentional distance limits and work with in-game communication tools.
What the official guidance confirms
- A microphone is optional: in-game text chat can be used for the whole game.
- Outside voice chat or sitting in one room bypasses communication challenges and can make parts of the game stop making sense.
- For mic issues, check Settings > Audio, microphone activity, device mute, hold-to-talk, and moderation silencing.
- Echo usually means a microphone is picking up speaker output; isolate the player and use headphones where possible.
