In theory but not in practice.
- gsich 8y agoAlso in practice. You just need to tell people, and by tell I mean command them to fix their stuff.
- snlnspc 8y ago"working as intended, just patronize other users into fiddling with their settings until it's acceptable" sounds to me like it's not a sane default
- slavox 8y agoSometimes it can be hard to know that your setup isn't working as you expected. Whilst commanding someone to fix it should be the last resort most people with voice activation would rather the setup work for everyone in the server so they can keep using it. On my setup for example I had a desk mic which sat on my wooden desk. People had to point out to me that there were sudden sharp noises coming from my mic. Eventually it was isolated to my mouse hitting the desk and vibrating up the base into the mic. I placed the mic on a bit of foam and everyone was happy. These types of activations are not picked up during self testing easily.
- gsich 8y agoPeople don't hear their microphone, so they won't notice wrong settings. Telling them is the only choice you have. If you think "command" is too strong of a word, use "urge".
- rainonmoon 8y agoHave you played an online game recently? Not exactly the most eager to take advice from strangers, those folk.
- Fnoord 8y agoYou can't command youngsters when you don't have authority over them. Asking it in a friendly tone is much more reasonable though it does require an extra keybind (I recommend rebinding caps lock to it).
- gsich 8y agoYes. You can if they come to your server. And then they are not exactly strangers anymore. Nobody cares about ingame voice as those are usually PTT per default.
