Here’s how to enable voice chat in Pokémon Unite
Communication is key to winning in Pokémon Unite! Here’s how to enable voice chat.
Pokémon Unite has arrived on the Nintendo Switch, combining the world of Pokemon with the competitive MOBA genre, and the results are good. Up to five players can team up as their favorite Pokémon and battle it out, working together to score points and defend their goals from the opposing team.
Pokémon Unite is a game that requires teamwork, so playing with your friends is a must, but even if you’re playing with friends you trust, you’ll need a way to communicate with them. You can make use of in-game messaging, but to guarantee your victory, you’ll need to use your voice. Here’s how to use voice chat in Pokémon Unite. If you want to use a wireless headset, you’ll need to plug a Bluetooth adapter into the Switch because the console doesn’t have Bluetooth on its own.

How to use voice chat in Pokémon Unite
Thankfully, voice chat is enabled in Pokémon Unite by default, but you’ll have to get to Trainer Level 6 before you have access to it. As long as the Nintendo Switch recognizes your headset, you’ll be able to voice chat. Follow these steps to make it happen.
Plug in a pair of compatible Nintendo Switch headphones.
If you haven’t done so yet, start Pokémon Unite.
Start up a Unite Battle. Note, you cannot talk to each other in lobbies, only during a match.
When you are on the battle arena, press the + button on your controller to bring up a settings menu.
Now press the – button on your controller for additional settings.
Scross down to Voice Chat Settings.
If you want to hear other people, turn Incoming to On.
If this is your first time doing this, you’ll need to press the X button to agree to terms and conditions to proceed.
If you only want invited friends to be able to hear you, switch the Incoming Range to Team: Invited. The Team: All option makes it so you can hear anyone on your team.
If you want other people to be able to hear you, turn Outgoing to On.
With voice chat turned on, you’ll be able to talk to your teammates and strategize ways to win during battles.
Other Voice Chat options
It’s really frustrating that you cannot talk to other people while in the Pokémon Unite main menu or the lobby. If you want to be able to talk to your teammates more easily, I suggest you use your phone to access Discord or start an Instant Meeting in Google Meet to talk to your friends while you play.
Speak up
That’s all it takes to use voice chat in Pokémon Unite. Using voice chat is the recommended way to play, whether with friends or playing Ranked Matches. It’s just one of the many tips and tricks you’ll need to know if you want to get good at Pokémon Unite. Pokémon Unite is quickly becoming one of our favorite multiplayer games. It’s a fun MOBA game, without the high learning curve of other popular MOBAs.
