How to use All Chat and Team Chat in VALORANT

Communicate better with these tips.

If you don’t have access to a microphone, VALORANT All Chat and Team Chat are vitally important. The ability to communicate accurate information to your team can be the difference between winning and losing the round.

That’s why you should set up your VALORANT All Chat and, more importantly, Team Chat, first and foremost—right after you take care of your settings and keybinds. Fortunately for players, using the chat functions in VALORANT is easy.

Accessing Team Chat is very simple. It can help your teammates understand certain situations or allow for discussion while another teammate is attempting to clutch a round. To open the team chat function, just hit “Enter” on your keyboard.

How to All Chat in VALORANT

Using All Chat is used primarily to trash-talk your opponents and has very little function outside of that. You can use All Chat in VALORANT by holding “Shift” before pressing “Enter.”

The chat functions are nice to have but are ultimately unnecessary if you have a working mic. It’s nice to know how to use the chat functions in VALORANT, but good voice comms will beat out text any day of the week. Either way, if you’re stuck with the chat feature, it’s important to know how to use it. And fortunately, it’s easier than in-depth tweaks like setting up custom dot crosshairs, so you can start chatting right away!
