How to Get a Mic on Fortnite Nintendo Switch

Last updated
Ever wondered how you can team up better with your buddies on Fortnite by using a mic on your Nintendo Switch? You’re in the right spot!
Let’s dive into how you can start chatting away with your friends in Fortnite on the Nintendo Switch.
Quick Answer: Use a Compatible Headset
To get a mic working on Fortnite for the Nintendo Switch, you just need a compatible headset. That’s it!
Most headsets with a 3.5mm audio jack will work just fine. Just plug it into the headphone jack on the Nintendo Switch or on the Pro Controller if you’re using one. If your headset has a USB connector, you can plug it into the USB port on the Switch dock. And boom, you’re ready to chat!
Chatting in Fortnite Made Easy
If you’re using a compatible headset, you don’t need any special settings adjustments in Fortnite. The game automatically detects your mic, and you can start communicating with your team as soon as you enter a match.
Just remember, Fortnite has a default setting that enables voice chat, but if you’re not hearing anyone, make sure the voice chat option is turned on in the game’s audio settings. With this setup, coordinating your victory dance with friends gets a whole lot easier.
