Is there a way to hear Fortnite party chat through headset and tv?

Thanks for confirming, I'll stop searching for settings now!

Hi, VerityGriffiths! thank you for reaching out.

My name is AJ, I'm an Independent Advisor for the Xbox Community.

Unfortunately, there is no way to set In-game chat to come through both your son's headset and the TV speakers. This is only possible when in an Xbox Party Chat.

Not game audio, game chat.

In settings, Xbox has an option to make party chat output go through your headset, headset and TV, or TV.

but that's only for party chat. i've always wondered why xbox can't do the same for in-game chat too?

With in game chat, if your headset is plugged in; game chat automatically goes to the headset, with no option to have it output through TV.

really sucks when you can't wear headsets, you can't play socially outside of parties. (in party chat; i use my headset mic, but have their voice output through my TV. game chat has no option to do this, you must wear your headset to hear teammates)

I can't hear anybody through my TB XO One headset, but they can hear me. Game chat is fine, but in party chat it doesn't work. It shows me speaking when I speak, and my friends tell me they can hear me, and if I unplug the headset, I can hear people speaking
through the TV speakers.

The fact that game chat still works proves that it's Microsoft's software, not my headset, adapter, Xbox or controller.

Hi jamen014,

So there is a way to allow your party to be captured by streaming you need to go into your party settings and change to allow party chat to go through both headset and audio. This will allow voice chat to go through tv and should pick it up on stream
