Hello Admin/Dev Team,
I’d like to suggest an improvement to the audio system in Squad. Currently, all in-game audio (including voice chat) is mixed into a single output, which makes it difficult to manage for streamers. This creates a significant risk of violating strict streaming platform policies (such as TikTok), especially when other players use inappropriate language over voice chat.
Problem:
- Voice chat is combined with the main game audio, making it impossible to separate for streaming purposes.
- Streamers are at risk of warnings or even permanent bans due to content from other players’ voice chat.
Suggested Solution:
Add the option for separate custom audio outputs, divided as follows:
- Main Audio (gameplay, effects, music, etc.)
- Local Voice Chat (proximity chat)
- Squad Voice Chat
- Mic Input (the player’s own microphone)
Benefits:
- Streamers can still hear all audio normally while having the flexibility to choose which outputs are included in their broadcast.
- Reduces the risk of violating community guidelines on streaming platforms.
- Provides more professional-level audio control, benefiting not only streamers but also players who want clean recordings.
This feature would make Squad more content-creator friendly while improving the overall experience for the community.
Thank you for your hard work on developing and managing the server. I hope this suggestion can be considered for the benefit of all players.
Best regards,
[Streamer/Player]
