  3. Proximity Chat, Body Shield Chat and Last Words only work when Game Chat Voice is All Lobby. Limiting it switches those off.

💡 Activision says your platform account settings may override in-game settings. Written for Black Ops 6. Warzone's help page lists the same options.

Voice moderation

Call of Duty uses AI-powered voice moderation (ToxMod by Modulate) in select titles. Voice chat is monitored and recorded to investigate Code of Conduct violations. Turning off in-game voice chat stops your child's voice being recorded.
