Yes. GeForce NOW supports in-game microphone. You can voice chat with your friends, or foes, during gameplay. On most GeForce NOW platforms, you can use the hotkey “Ctrl+M” / “Cmd+M” to enable the microphone. If this hotkey conflicts with a game specific shortcut, you will need to adjust or remap from the game’s settings.
NOTE: Once the microphone is enabled on GeForce NOW, games may have different options to enable voice chat while playing: (1) OPEN MIC: users do not need to press a hotkey to use the microphone. (2) PUSH TO TALK: users will also need to press a specific hotkey/shortcut whenever they want to communicate.
