Party Chat Settings

Manage your interactions with other party members in Orbit using intuitive settings for a personalized and controlled communication experience.

Access the Party Settings

1. Locate the Menu Button: In the top right corner of the app interface, find the menu button, represented by three horizontal lines (☰). Click on it to open the main menu.

2. Navigate to the Party Section: In the menu, look for the option labeled “Party,” indicated by an icon of three outlined people. Select this option to manage your party settings.

3. Note: These options are not shown if there are not other members in your party.

Control Party Chat Volume

• Adjust the volume of sounds from party chat members using the slide bar.

Mute All Party Chat Members

• Turn on the “mute party members” toggle to mute the microphones of all members in the party chat while still hearing public sounds in the virtual space.

Hiding Party Chat Members’ Messages

• Press the text chat icon next to the users’ names to hide their text messages. When the icon is red, their chat messages are hidden. This is useful for avoiding spam or offensive comments from specific users.

Hiding Party Chat Members’ Camera

• Press the camera icon next to the users’ names to hide their camera. When the icon is red, their camera is hidden. This helps if you do not want to see the camera from specific users.

Muting Party Members’ Audio

• Press the mic icon next to the users’ names to mute their audio. When the icon is red, their microphones are muted. This is beneficial if you do not want to hear loud background noise or annoying comments from specific users.

Hiding Party Chat Members’ Screen Share

• Press the screen-share icon next to the users’ names to hide their screen share. When the icon is red, the screens being shared are hidden. This can help avoid seeing unwanted content or prevent slowing down your internet connection.

Additional Tips:

• Managing Multiple Party Members: If you need to mute multiple Party members, repeat the process for each member individually.

• Temporary Muting: Use the mute function during times when you need to focus or reduce background noise, and unmute when you want to re-engage in conversation.

• Respectful Muting: Remember that muting a member only affects your experience. If a member is being disruptive to the entire Party, consider discussing it with a moderator, starting a new Party Chat or using other moderation tools (coming soon).
