Voice Chat

[TheBardWhoCodes]

We need a way to enable voice chat

• Voice chat should be off by default
• Implement a settings window that can be shown while the player is connected
• Implement common voice controls
  • Incoming Voice Volume
  • Outgoing Voice Volume
  • Mute/Unmute
  • Disable Voice Chat
  • This should turn off incoming and outgoing voice chat

Should we also consider adding graphics for when player is talking? I think either broadcast waves around the player, or a shader effect would be neat. A mute or deaf|disconnected icon/effect could also be applied to the player.

I think that there should be a UI indicator that reflects how many players (in the room) are connected to voice chat, with a list of players when clicked and/or focused. This could be a simple overlay, or it can be incorporated into an overlay/scoreboard (tab) menu.

Additionally, an option to use push-to-talk would be necessary.
