Managing Voice Chat, Reporting Misconduct, and Adjusting Content Visuals in POPULATION: ONE

This article explains some of the features available to control your experience in POPULATION: ONE.

You'll learn how to use the following features:

MANAGING VOICE CHAT

For Parent-Managed Meta Accounts, voice chat is not available in POPULATION: ONE.

• Players using Parent-Managed accounts won't be able to talk to or hear other players and parents cannot grant them access to voice chat.

For standard accounts, please follow the steps below:

If you've given POPULATION: ONE access to your microphone, you can voice chat with other players on your team or in the pre-game lobby.

To mute yourself or other players during a play session, you can do so using the in-game controls.

1. During a match, press the trigger button on your left controller to bring up the mini map
   (if you have set your controllers to be left-hand dominant, use the trigger button on your right controller)
   
   
2. This will open the mini map and a list of all the players you can currently communicate with using voice chat.
   
3. Next to each player (including yourself at the top of the list), you can toggle voice chat on or off. Players who you have muted will also be unable to hear you speak.

   (the Report button is also available on the players list next to the mini map)
   
4. Follow the prompt to fill out the details of the report, then click SUBMIT when you're done
   (Please note that it may take some time to assess your report before we're able to respond)
   
5. You can also use Voice Chat muting and Ghost toggles to turn off voice and visuals of any player who you want to limit your interactions with.
