VOICE CHAT: Etiquette
Whether you are using a normal telephone or you are chatting in Second Life, etiquette is very important. If you cause your listeners discomfort, they won't want to chat with you! If your microphone is always open, listeners can hear every sound that you are making and every sound in the room with you. Do not eat with an open mic! Make sure there are no green microphone waves and that your talk button is off when you are eating or making uncomfortable sounds. You can control the sounds and input levels. Click the master volume controls; you can manipulate Music, Media, Voice, Sounds, Ambient and UI sounds. Remember, Green waves = OK. Red waves = Too Loud! Also always pay attention to what is being said in text chat. Others may not have voice chat and they may think that you are ignoring them. It's fine to focus on text OR voice, just let your friends know. It's all about the communication!

@KissJustMimi No, all you need is a headset w/ mic. That, however, does cost money but is available in most price ranges.

well, soon everything will be based on things like this. VR will be, and is becoming, huge. so maybe instead of bashing it you should keep an open mind. :)

etiquette is very important, weither its closing the mic. or watching what you say, you don't know how many times i have been called things like "furfag" or...well the N word. and if everyone knew how to watch their mouths i think we would enjoy sl more ^^
