Proximity voice
Talk to the dinosaurs around you. You hear players within about 90 m while you're in game; voices fade with distance. If you die, you stay in voice where you fell until you respawn or leave. Nobody sees your name or Steam profile.

How you talk
Your mic only sends while you speak louder than the yellow line on the meter.
Talk normally: the bar should turn green and cross the line. In silence it should stay grey and below it.
Browsers can't see your keys while the game has focus, so push-to-talk needs a small helper app on your PC (Windows).
It watches only the one key you choose and tells this page when it's held. Nothing else is recorded or sent anywhere.
- Download the helper (source code). Windows may warn that it's from an unknown publisher: choose More info → Run anyway.
- Run it and press the key or mouse button you want to hold. A side mouse button works well.
- Keep it open while you play.
- Allow the connection: the first time, your browser asks whether darkestisle.com may access apps or devices on this computer (Firefox shows a small icon at the left of the address bar). Choose Allow, otherwise the page can't hear the helper.
Helper not running
Everything your mic hears is sent while you're connected. Use headphones and Mute mic when you need to.
Tips
- Keep this voice window open while you play: it can sit behind the game or on a second screen. Closing it ends voice.
- Use headphones, so others don't hear themselves echo through your mic.
- Choose how you talk above: voice activation, push-to-talk with the helper app, or an open mic. Mute mic always wins.
- When you die you can still talk and listen where you fell, until you respawn or leave the server.
