How to stop Text to Voice on XBOX

I believe they are coming in from PC users on Apex.  How does one stop them from coming in on audio for XBOX.

  • I too am having this issue. My last game that I just left had some immature toddler throwing a fit because he jumped by himself and got instant downed. So he spammed txt to voice until the game ended and I couldn't mute him or get it to stop. This was also in a ranked game and caused me to lose points because I was freezing and couldn't hear anything except a bunch of %'s being spammed nonstop.   I don't know if we can get people punished for being so toxic but if we can, his gamer tag was [CM - removed] and I was streaming on twitch when I had this guy's toxic behavior play out. I've sent a report through xbox but that basically does nothing as xbox team doesn't care about toxic behavior as long as people are paying for xbox live.

    @forgottenspace u need to take out the gamer tag name from your post as its against forum rules to name and shame and will attract the attention of a CM shortly who will berate you 😉

  • i just found this thread, i found out how, you just need to turn Convert Incoming Voice to Chat Text, under accessibility, and then it shows chat text instead of voice. :]

    thats the only solution I've found.

    I had a couple thoughts on seeing this thread bumped.  First, the descriptions found for these features under "options" leave a bit to be desired in terms of clarity.  What "Enable accessible chat features" actually does is pretty vague.  I've been looking at it for a minute and can't figure out exactly what the options will change.

    There are a couple of ways to avoid getting the nasty treatment from randoms.  First, under "gameplay options" there is a Communications Filter that allows you to disable incoming chat from everyone entirely, or limit it to just players who are among your in-game friends.  The other option is to "mute squad" upon character selection or on your map screen during game.  I almost always play in party chat, so I generally don't have to do any of this.  But when I have not done so, the moment a random's mic has extraneous noise or they say anything that is impolite, I just instantly mute them.  Generally I do not mute team mate's pings, but a neat side effect from doing so is that you conveniently can no longer see their death box ping spam at all.
