Vivox

Vivox is in-game voice chat software that can improve cooperative and competitive multiplayer gaming by letting players communicate regardless of what platform they're playing on. It works with several game engines, including Unity and Unreal, and supports cross-play communication.

Vivox has several advanced features:

• 3D Positional Voice Chat: Audio that takes into account a player's position and orientation.
• 2D Voice Chat: Walkie-talkie style channels teammates can use to communicate anywhere on the map.
• Text Chat: Built-in group chat and direct messaging for players.
• Player Controls: Muting, volume control and other options to customize your experience.
• Accessibility: Speech-to-Text and Text-to-Speech for more players.
• SDKs for Any Engine: Custom and wrapped SDKs for Unity and Unreal engines.

The company says its platform will help game communities by providing real-time communication tools. It's designed to handle large-scale multiplayer games with up to 2,000 people in one channel. Vivox also has features like chat history, anti-flooding and the ability to edit or delete messages to try to maintain a positive and respectful tone.

Vivox can be integrated with other services, including Safe Voice for AI-powered toxicity detection, Game Server Hosting for scalable hosting and Matchmaker for efficient matchmaking. That's a lot of tools to help developers build multiplayer games that are fun and inclusive.

Vivox doesn't disclose pricing, but integration typically takes less than two days. For more details and specific use cases, you can check the Vivox website.
