After a night of being astounded by the 100% lack of voice chat participants in my Iron Banner matches last night, I wondered if this community truly only complains about not having features they have no intention on using to begin with.
Not a single match contained anyone who would respond, after I repeatedly swapped voice channels in each game.
So I got to wondering... could it be nobody is figuring out how to do it?
Admittedly, my first couple of matches... I simply used my D-pad Left and Rights like I thought it was going to work... and all my Titan would do is point and dance.
Then I noticed that when I hit Left and Right on my D pad during my death screens while the scoreboard was up... the speaker icon in my Emblem changed to a megaphone looking icon and it also indicated I had changed voice channels in the lower left UI where kills and loot normally scroll.
So during the game, I experimented and brought up the scoreboard while still alive and found that yes, I could use Left and Right D-Pad to swap voice channels.
So I'm thinking I am not the only one who struggled with this, and that some may still be trying to figure it out.
SO:
[b]How To Change Voice Channels to Join Matchmaking Team Chat:[/b]
1. Wait until matchmaking game loads
2. As soon as your boots hit the ground, hit the button to bring up Nav Mode/ Scoreboard
3. Hit RIGHT on your D-Pad to join in the chat fun in the game. Your Emblem's speaker will change and the lower left UI will have a brief message that you joined the new voice channel.
4. Start talking and shooting!

Sweet, thanks! I definitely was one of those who didn't know how to use it.
