Public Voice Chat Settings

Learn how to mute other users in Orbit to manage your audio environment, reduce unwanted noise, and enhance your virtual interactions.

Open the Menu: Select the menu button, represented by three horizontal lines (☰), located in the top right corner of the interface. This will open the main menu.
Select the User List: From the menu, choose the user list option, indicated by the ‘double profile’ icon. This will display a list of all users currently in your session.

Find the User: In the user list, locate the user you want to mute. Each user will have a microphone icon to the right of their name.
Mute the User: Click on the green microphone icon next to the user’s name. The icon will turn red, indicating that their audio is muted for you. This means you will no longer hear this user, but their audio will still be heard by others in the session.

Find the Muted User: In the user list, locate the user you previously muted. Their microphone icon will be red.
Unmute the User: Click the red microphone icon next to the user’s name. The icon will turn green again, indicating that their audio is now unmuted and you can hear them once more.

If you cannot hear the user, click the blue "audio reload" button to reset the user’s audio. This can help resolve any issues with audio not coming through.

To mute all public members, access the settings menu and toggle the “mute public players” option. This will mute the microphones of all public players in the virtual space.
Note: If you are in a Party Chat you will still hear the members, to mute Party Members you can follow this guide Mute All Party Chat Members

Volume Control: Adjust the overall volume of public voice chat by using the volume slider at the bottom of the user list. This allows you to control how loud or quiet the public voice chat is in your environment.

Managing Multiple Users: If you need to mute multiple users, repeat the process for each user 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 user only affects your experience. If a user is being disruptive to the entire group, consider discussing it with a moderator or using other moderation tools (coming soon).
