Why Is My Mic Not Working in Fortnite on Nintendo Switch?

Ever found yourself shouting into the void while playing Fortnite on your Nintendo Switch, wondering why no one can hear you? Let’s figure out why your mic might not be working.

If you’re scratching your head asking, “Why is my mic not working in Fortnite on my Nintendo Switch?” you’re in the right place for answers.

Quick Fix for Your Mic Woes

The most common reason your mic isn’t working in Fortnite on Nintendo Switch is a simple connectivity issue. Make sure your headset is properly connected to the Switch. If it’s wireless, check that it’s paired correctly.

Another fix could be checking your Fortnite audio settings. Sometimes, the default settings might disable your mic, so ensure the ‘Voice Chat’ option is turned on. Also, verify that your Nintendo Switch’s system settings allow microphone use for games.
