In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, engaging in voice chat is optional, even though it's a multiplayer game. If you're interested in using or muting voice chat without relying on external platforms like Discord, you'll need to familiarize yourself with the in-game settings. Here's how to set it up:

How to Use and Mute Voice Chat in Monster Hunter Wilds

All voice chat settings are located in the audio section of the menu. To access these, navigate to the options either in-game or from the main menu screen, and select the tab that's third from the right. Scroll down slightly, and you'll find the Voice Chat setting with three options: enable, disable, and push-to-talk. Enable keeps voice chat always on, disable turns it off entirely, and push-to-talk activates it only when you press a designated key on your keyboard, which is exclusive to keyboard users.

Additional settings include voice chat volume, which adjusts the loudness of the chat for you, and voice chat auto-toggle. The auto-toggle feature can be set to automatically prioritize the voice of quest members, link party members, or remain static. Quest members are those you're actively playing with in a quest, making this setting popular for most players. Link members refer to those in your link party, useful when assisting others through the game's story, as you might need to wait during cutscenes.

That covers everything you need to know about voice chat in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. While the in-game audio quality may not match that of dedicated apps, having the option built-in is beneficial, especially for cross-platform play. For the best experience, using external communication tools is recommended, but the in-game feature remains a handy alternative.
