kinect not working for ghost game chat

when my headset is not plugged in while I'm playing ghost i can not talk thru my kinect

In game chat with kinect?

Ghosts doesn't support in game chat through the Kinect. Other games do (BF4 for example), but Ghosts does not. This is not an error with your Kinect device. You can switch to party chat and use the Kinect that way, but game chat is not supported with the
Kinect in Ghosts. Hopefully they will have a patch of some sort to take care of this, at least until some viable headsets become available.

 

Does kinect in game chat work for all games?

Hi Sean! Unfortunately, the Kinect does not work for Game Chat in all games, because not all game developers have chosen to include it as an option. For example, in CoD Ghosts, the Activision support team have confirmed, "Kinect does not work for in-game
chat because Ghosts is designed to require a dedicated microphone." In other words, a mic which isn't also receiving voice commands, etc.

Kinect WILL work for Party Chat in all games, if I'm not mistaken, because this goes through the Party App rather than the individual game programming. The best way to find out if Kinect game chat is supported by a specific game is to check the documentation
or developer website, because not all developers have chosen to program for the Kinect as a microphone, and it's not always easy to tell if it's working as you'd expect!

Hope this helps!

 

Hi Kush! Unfortunately, some games do not incorporate Kinect for game chat. It will work for Party Chat, but not otherwise. The devs specifically have to program for it. According to what I've learned directly from Activision support, "Ghosts is designed
to require a dedicated microphone for game chat." In other words, they require a headset mic, and didn't program in the Kinect because it is also used for voice commands, etc.

Hope this answers your question!
