Now for the cool part: moving a voice chat channel to your PS5. Here’s how:

You’ll hear your squad through your PS5 audio. And yes, your DualSense controller mic or any connected headset works just fine for talking.
🎙️ Tips for the Best Voice Chat Experience
To make sure your Discord chat is smooth and flawless, follow these tips:
- Use a wired headset: Reduces lag and interference
- Mute the TV or adjust in-game volume
- Disable in-game voice chat if you’re using Discord instead

This ensures fewer distractions and a better connection when transferring the chat to PS5.
