VOICE CHAT: Disabling it for yourself & on land
"Voice Chat" can be disabled in several ways, depending on your needs. If you want to disable your own voice chat, select Edit menu -- Preferences -- Voice Chat and uncheck the box next to "Enable Voice Chat". You will no longer see the voice controls at the bottom of the screen and you will not be able to listen to other people talking. To turn it back on, you can click the box next to "Enable Voice Chat". An icon at the top will indicate that voice chat is disabled. If you are a landowner you can click on "About Land" -- Media tab -- Voice and select the radio button next to "Disable spatial audio on this parcel". You can also select "Use a private spatial channel" which will restrict people outside your parcel from being able to hear what's being said within, or you can select "Use the Estate spatial channel", which is the "normal" setting. You can disable voice estate-wide by going to World menu -- Region/Estate -- Estate tab and deselect the box in front of "Allow Voice Chat".

He does lag in a few, and even mentions it.

[HolyDevilKing]

There's no lag because he waits for the textures to load, and there aren't many people there.

what if estate chat is disabled and i cant find the option to change it back from private to estate?

[RocketXXXthrower]

Thanks Torley!

Was searching for an explanation of that voice-menu in the land-info for a long time. Last but not least I found in here:)

Many thanks!!!

Voice chat is a godsend for people with chronic tendinitis who need to limit their typing.

[rewscott]

If there is one constant truth about Second Life, its that you have options out the wazoo! So why wish options away for some who want them when the ones YOU want probably exist somewhere.

A good search will likely find you a place to be yourself - no matter what that choice is - and to be that in the company of people who support that choice.

Haha, Linden powers ^_-*

What use is a virtual world if you can't even talk? Not everyone can type a mile a minute.

Voice chat completely spoils Second Life. I hope it never becomes commonplace. It means that females can't impersonate males and vice versa. That is one of the cool things about Second Life, that anyone could be anyone.

If we all disable it, maybe the Lindens will knock this feature out.

Disable voice chat now!
