Hello, my teammates can't hear me in the game anymore. I've changed the headset, reset the console, reinstalled the game. I've enabled and disabled the voice chat settings, sent a feedback message "bug" to their support, activated the Oceania settings then reactivated Europe, completely powering off the console between each step. Nothing works?? Does anyone have another solution?

  In the Fortnite settings, you need to check in the audio section that the setting is set to "Open Microphone" and not "Push to Talk."

I had the same problem, and in fact, in the parental controls of the game, there is a permission to grant for online chatting.

  Hello, and no, still not resolved! I contacted Epic Games and they're treating me like a fool! Besides explaining to me how to properly set the parameters and to disable parental controls, which I've done 20 times, nothing more! I've given up. Maybe the problem comes from the headphone jack on the Switch, yet we can hear perfectly in the headset...

  Hello, we have the same problem with a headset that works very well with a phone or the ps4. From what I’ve read, Nintendo is aware but "doesn't care". It’s not the jack, which is what I also thought. They created an app to install on your phone and when playing Fortnite you have to chat via your mobile. Convenient...

  Hello,
  After 2 months of searching and asking for advice from retailers and others, we’ve just found the solution. Indeed, the headset's microphone worked on the phone but not on the Switch for Fortnite. However, simple low-cost phone earbuds worked perfectly well. Unbelievable...
  Finally, the solution: in the console settings, you need to remove the headphone volume limiter with the parental control code.
  I hope I’ve helped! My son is extremely happy!!
