  1. Why can I speak in the party chat, but not the game chat?


    I’ve tried talking and testing my mic in the Xbox petty (just me), and it shows that I am talking and registers my mic. But whenever I go into a game (Overwatch, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed) it won’t work. Yes, my mic is unmuted, the connection is sound, and I don’t have any restrictions on my communications. My mic monitoring is all the way up as well. I have also tried updating my controller, but it says “no update available”

    Hi, it doesn't help. I want the game volume to lower when someone speaks. This works in party chat and not in game chat. Why?

    Game chat inside Party game

    Once you switch to game chat, everyone in the party will be muted as you will be able to speak and listen to everyone in the game's lobby. Once you go back from game chat to party chat you will be able to speak with your party again

    Skype chat help

    This is the same problem I am having. Allow me to explain in detail.

    When you enter party chat, game chat turns off and you are in the "party chat channel". This is so you can privately speak with your party and not the whole lobby. We all know this since it was the same on the 360.

    When you are not in party chat you are in the "game chat channel" and therefore can speak with and hear other players in the online match lobby. Again we all know this since it was the same on the 360.

    However, when you are in a Skype call on the Xbox One, and you go into an online match of any game, not only is yor voice broadcasting to your Skype call, it is broadcasting to the "game chat channel". You are also receiving the game chat audio through your
    headset at the same time. Thus you are speaking with and hearing the entire lobby AND your Skype call at the same time. Therefore Skype is only viable as chat platform if you are in single player, which does not seem like it is working as intended.

    I know it is not the Kinect because I have the option to use Kinect for voice chat turned off.

    Why is Skype not its own channel that allows private communication?
