How to Join the Voice Chat Channels on World of Warcraft
In the online role-playing game "World of Warcraft," the action can occasionally become quite furious. This can make typing to communicate with others difficult. For this reason, Blizzard added a voice chat feature to the game in 2007, allowing players to communicate without typing. If you have this feature enabled, you can communicate with others in a guild or party chat channel simply by speaking. After enabling this feature, you can join a voice chat channel using a simple text command.
