How to Use the Microphone on Nintendo Switch

Ever wondered how to chat with friends using your Nintendo Switch? Let’s dive into how you can use the microphone on your Nintendo Switch.

Using the microphone on your Nintendo Switch isn’t as tricky as you might think. Here’s what you need to know to get chatting.

Getting Started With Your Nintendo Switch Mic

To use a microphone with your Nintendo Switch, you’ll need a compatible headset. The Switch doesn’t have a built-in mic for voice chat, but it supports most headsets with a 3.5mm jack.

Once you have your headset, plug it into the headphone jack on the Nintendo Switch or the Nintendo Switch Lite. If you’re using the Switch docked, you might need a USB adapter for your headset. Then, you’re all set to start chatting in games that support voice chat!

Which Games Let You Chat?

Not all Switch games support voice chat. Big titles like ‘Fortnite’ and ‘Overwatch’ do, but many others rely on the Nintendo Switch Online app on your smartphone. For these games, you’ll need the app and a smartphone to chat with friends online.

This means you might have to juggle your game and your phone at the same time. But hey, playing and chatting with friends from all over the world? Totally worth it!
