How can you turn off hearing other players or at the very least turn DOWN their volume ?

Hi any help would be much appreciated. I have just bought a Meta Quest 3 for my son and was really shocked when random voices came through headset. Yes I was not aware ! How can I turn this off in games : Gorilla Tag being one of them. Or at least turn down the volume completely so we cannot hear them. Surely this is dangerous for users under 18, who could be exposed to any kind of content and a feeding ground and open opportunity for "certain people ( begining with P ) targeting young children and teenagers", or in the same manner be an issue for parents who don't want their kids being exposed to the inner household audio talk of just about ANYONE. Surely there must be a way around this, than to not limit/ restrict decent children's right to play safely. Please help. No other gaming platform forces you to have this.

    Hey there Tai1234, in order to stop hearing other user voices in Gorilla Tag you need to load up the game, press the menu button on your Quest 3 Controller ( This button has three horizontal white lines and is on the left controller), from here you will see a slider that you can turn all the way down to mute other users.

    In terms of other games that use a chat feature, you will have to disable them in-game as there is no master way to turn everything off currently. However, if you would like to make a suggestion for the developers to include this feature you can post it over on the Ideas Forum.

    I hope this helped!

      Hey again Tai1234 !

      Also, you can deny audio permissions on Gorilla Tag in the settings of your device.

      In order to do this, first go into your settings, from the home menu by clicking the gear icon in the menu bar.

      In the settings, look for the 'Apps' section, and in here click Gorilla Tag.

      Once you click on the app you can scroll down and find 'permissions', look for the permission labelled 'microphone' and deny it.

      This will stop the game from having access to your microphone.

      By combining both of these steps, you will be able to game in peace!

        I'm so glad I found your post. This was also really unsettling for me.
