How to Use a Mic on Nintendo Switch While Docked

Ever wondered how to keep chatting with your friends on your Nintendo Switch while it’s docked? You’re in the right spot!

Let’s talk about using a microphone with your Nintendo Switch when it’s docked and you’re ready for some serious gaming.

Quick Guide to Using a Mic with Docked Nintendo Switch

First things first, you’ll need a compatible microphone. This can be either a USB mic that you plug directly into the dock or a headset with a mic that connects via the 3.5mm headphone jack on the Switch itself. Yes, even when it’s docked!

To use a USB mic, simply plug it into one of the USB ports on the dock. If you’re using a headset, you’ll have to connect it to the headphone jack on the Nintendo Switch even though it’s docked. Some games support voice chat directly through the console, but for many others, you might have to use the Nintendo Switch Online app on your smartphone.
