Host Settings

Host Settings

The host controls the match-wide voice rules. Host changes sync automatically to every player; players separately control their own devices, volumes, keybinds, and HUD.

Open Host Voice Settings from the lobby game-settings console. On desktop, the host can also press F11. The panel closes automatically if host authority moves to another player. Hover the ! beside an option for its in-game explanation.

Proximity tab

Setting	Default	What it controls
Max Distance	6.0	Maximum task-phase proximity distance, adjustable from 1.5 to 20.0.
Voice Falloff	Smooth	Volume fade: Linear, Smooth, or Voice Focused.
Voice Occlusion	Vision Only	Wall/vision behavior: Off, Soft Muffle, Soft Fade, Hard Block, or Vision Only.
Walls Block Audio	On	Lets map walls obstruct voice using the selected occlusion mode.

Lobby tab

Setting	Default	What it controls
Public Voice Lobby	Off	Publishes the voice-enabled lobby so other Perfect Comms players can find it.
Public Lobby Directory	BetterCrewLink Live	Chooses BetterCrewLink Live or the Perfect Comms Registry for the listing.

The directory only handles public-lobby discovery; changing it does not change the host's voice rules.

Grace Period Seconds	5	Length of the enabled grace period, adjustable from 0 to 15 seconds.

Conditional rows appear only when their parent rule is enabled.

Team Radio tab

Setting	Default	What it controls
Team Radio	On	Enables private hold-to-talk channels for eligible teams and roles.
Team Radio - Impostors	On	Enables the impostor team channel.
Team Radio - Usable in Meetings	Off	Allows eligible channels during meetings.
Team Radio - Usable in Tasks Phase	On	Allows eligible channels during ordinary task gameplay.

On desktop, players hold V to transmit and press G to cycle the channels available to their role. On Android, they tap the Team Radio button to cycle or hold it to transmit. Additional radio rows appear as their related options are enabled.

Team Radio - Lovers	On	Enables the lovers channel while Team Radio and the current phase permit it.

Role rules activate automatically when their matching mod and role state are available and otherwise stay dormant.

Additional mod tabs

Other compatible mods can add their own tab under Mod Behaviour, with synced options, through the mod integration API. A client without that mod does not render its tab.

How synchronization works

Host changes are broadcast automatically, and a joining player requests the current rules. The in-game editor is available only while that player is the lobby host.
