Among Us is a popular multiplayer game. It can be played online or with friends. Communicating with other players is a key aspect of the game. Communicating by voice allows you to relay information a lot quicker and gives you more options to detect when someone is lying. Unfortunately, Among Us does not come with an in-game voice chat. To voice-chat in Among Us, you will need to use a third-party app. You can use a standard voice-chat app like Discord. PC players can use a proximity voice-chat mod called “Crewlink”. This wikiHow teaches you how to voice chat in Among Us.
