Accessing Team Chat in VALORANT is simple. It can help your teammates understand certain situations or allow for discussion while another teammate attempts to clutch a round. Just hit “Enter” on your keyboard to open the team chat function.

How to All Chat in VALORANT

Using All Chat is primarily used to trash-talk your opponents and has little function outside of that. You can use All Chat by holding “Shift” before pressing “Enter.”

The chat functions are nice, but are ultimately unnecessary if you have a working mic. It’s worth knowing how to use the chat functions in VALORANT, but good voice comms beat text chat any day of the week. Either way, if you’re stuck with the chat feature, it’s important to know how to use it.
