# Sandbox.Platform.VoiceChat

Platform-level voice chat. Works without any setup: everyone in a game can hear each other.
Once the scene has [Sandbox.Voice](/api/Sandbox.Voice) components, only players talking through one are heard,
and their Voice decides how it's captured, routed and played back.
