Warzone 2.0 Voice Chat Not Working Fixes You Can Try
Being able to communicate s important in a game mode like Warzone when playing with friends.

Set Your Default Sound Input Device
One reason why the voice chat isn’t working in Call of Duty Warzone 2.0 is that the default input device set for the game is not the one you are using.

After that, set your default input device in the game’s audio settings. Click on the gear icon on to top right > select Audio > scroll down to Microphone > Microphone Input Device > select “Default System Device”. Apply the changes and the in-game chat will start working.
