Proximity voice
Hear the island
Hear the players around you, and lose them again as they wander off. Voice carries about seventy metres in the world, straight from this page. Nothing to install, no second program to run.
Connected
Your voice session expired. Reload this page to open the channel again.
Voice needs your account linked to the island, and linking is not open yet.
Account linking is the next wave of work on this site. The moment it lands, this
page opens the channel with no further setup. Nothing is broken on your side.
You are on voice, but we cannot see you on the island yet.
Proximity voice needs two things: be in the server on the same account you linked
here, and be alive in the world rather than sitting in the menu or on the death
screen. Until then you will not hear anyone and no one will hear you.

Keep the game at full volume
Windows ducks the game by about 80% the moment any app uses your microphone. One setting stops it, for this voice and for Discord and everything else. Thirty seconds, once.

WITHIN EARSHOT

No one within earshot.
Get close to another player in the world to hear them. This list fills in on its own, and empties again as they walk away.
