Activate chat in Fortnite settings

Once the headphones are activated and configured, the first step you need to take to talk about Fortnite is activate voice chat in the game settings.

To perform this procedure, start the game and, as soon as you see its home screen, select the game mode of your interest by clicking on Save the world or on the called button Battle royal. Then press the button Lobby to enter the main menu and first click on the button with the symbol (☰) that you see at the top left and then on the icon with the symbol ofGear, to enter the menu of Settings.

In the screen that you see next, click on the symbol of a speaker that you find located in the menu tab at the top, so that you are in the section named Audio, which is related to the activation of the chat and the adjustment of its main settings.

Now, first, adjust the volume options to balance the game audio and the voice chat volume of other players. To do this, use the levers that you find in correspondence with the words Music Volume, Sound Effects Volume, Voice Chat Volume e Volume video.

Once this is done, in the menu below, in correspondence with the wording Voice chat, move the arrows, in order to activate the voice SI, and thus succeeding in activating the game's voice chat by default.

Once this is done, if you want to talk freely about Fortnite, without having to press any buttons, make sure that in correspondence with the wording PTT the item is set DO NOT. This option refers to the push to talk, in Spanish press to speak, and that is the possibility of keeping the microphone deactivated by default.

By activating this option, you can still communicate with other players but, to do so, you have to press a button, in order to activate the microphone manually each time. This possibility is usually useful as it allows you to communicate with other players, without disturbing them with any annoying background noises; if you want to activate it, move the lever up SI next to the menu item PTT.

Once this is done, refer to the items Voice chat input device e Voice chat output device, which are used to select the microphone connected to the computer: by default there may be the wording Default but, if you have correctly connected the audio device you have to the computer, move the levers you see on the screen, in order to select the external microphone and headphones.

Once these configuration-related operations have been carried out, do not forget to save the changes by pressing the button Apply, which is located in the bottom bar. Also, if you have chosen to activate the Push to talk, you may also need to configure the key through which to activate the microphone, in order to be able to communicate with other players on Fortnite.

You must always perform this operation through the audio settings menu: click on the symbol of darts you see located in the menu bar at the top and then scroll the list of commands, in order to locate the menu item PTT. By default, the pre-assigned command for activating the microphone is the (T). Eventually, however, you can change it and assign a different key by clicking on the item (T), then pressing the key to which you want to give the new assignment.

In this case, if you have changed some settings affecting the game controls, there is no need to press a key to confirm the changes, as they are automatically saved. When you are done, press the button ESC to return to the main menu of the Lobby.

Now that you've adjusted all your microphone and voice chat settings, you can start a game via the Lobbyby pressing the key Play. Once in the game, to communicate with other players on Fortnite you just have to press the button for the Push to talk (PTT), if you have configured it, or you can simply communicate freely with other players through the use of the voice chat that you have previously activated by following my instructions.

The other forms of communication that are present in the game are the emote, which can be activated from the appropriate wheel, by pressing the button (B) on the keyboard. Alternatively, it is possible to select the team communication wheel by pressing the key F4.

The latter form of communication can be particularly useful for quick communication between team members, as it serves to indicate an urgent need, such as the need for materials (I need materials), of shields (I need shields), or treatment (I need medicines).

The default communication buttons for team communications and emotes are also modifiable through the game settings menu, accessible from the game or from the lobby, as I indicated in the previous lines.
