The game was finally taken out of beta and v1.0 launched a few days ago, so I needed to reinstall it to make sure I didn&#8217;t encounter any weird bugs. Strangely, this led to more conflict; Suddenly, no one in the game could hear me, and nothing I did seemed to fix it.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t until a friend reminded me about app permissions that I quit the game. Oh! The Meta Quest runs Android, which means each app must request permission for sensitive information like location, camera, and microphone. Sure enough, I went into Forefront&#8217;s app permissions, and it became like this <em>No<\/em> Allowed to do anything except play on my headset.<\/p>\n<aside data-block-type=\"embed\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"dealsy\" data-widget-type=\"seasonal\" class=\"hawk-root\"\/>\n<p id=\"elk-c92580e9-e945-4944-8193-49b93fe43b97-2\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Unfortunately, this can easily happen if you accidentally click the Allow box or click Deny without understanding the importance of the permission. To make matters worse, there&#8217;s nothing in the Quest to tell you that this is the problem; You&#8217;ll just have to figure it all out yourself. If you find that your voice chat in the game is not working, or something else is suddenly broken in the Meta Quest game, you may need to check the app&#8217;s permissions.<\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet=\"\" class=\"clear-both pt-2 pb-0 mb-4\">\n        <span class=\"&#10;

Most apps on Meta Quest will only need the microphone permission to function properly, but some other apps and games will also require the permission <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/gaming\/vr-games\/these-meta-quest-games-showed-me-the-future-of-gaming-on-smart-glasses\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/gaming\/vr-games\/these-meta-quest-games-showed-me-the-future-of-gaming-on-smart-glasses\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/gaming\/vr-games\/these-meta-quest-games-showed-me-the-future-of-gaming-on-smart-glasses\">Mixed reality games will also require spatial data and camera permissions.<\/p>\n<p>No matter what permissions the game might require, you can fix them all in one convenient place. Meta&#8217;s new Navigator UI makes some settings a little harder to find, but, ironically, requires fewer steps than the old UI to get where you want.

It&#8217;s possible that some apps or games may require you to close and restart them, but permissions changes usually take effect immediately. If this doesn&#8217;t fix your issue, make sure voice chat is enabled, and the voice volume is not turned all the way down in your game&#8217;s Settings menu.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s annoying that the system doesn&#8217;t tell you when an app is requesting permission but you&#8217;ve previously denied it (or ignored it), but at least it&#8217;s easier to figure out if a permission issue is causing the problem.
