Splatoon 3 does not have a standard voice chat function in the game itself, so users must use the chat function on the Nintendo Switch Online application, or use an external service such as Discord for voice chat.
The Basics: Settings required for Switch voice chat
First of all, the basic requirement is that you need to connect an earphone with some sort of microphone in order to conduct voice chat on the Nintendo Switch.
Alternatively, if you use a dedicated voice chat application, you will need a smartphone, tablet, or other device capable of making calls.
The Switch itself does not have a microphone function, however, earphones with a microphone can be connected through the earphone jack.
The earphone jack is located at the top of the Switch body.
Also, unlike PS4/5 and Xbox controllers, the Switch controller does not have an earphone jack.
Because of that, if you want to connect headphones in a way other than into the Switch itself, you will need to purchase a special controller with an earphone jack or use a chat application on your smartphone or tablet.
Regarding Bluetooth Connection
The Switch itself supports audio connections via Bluetooth, but does not support microphone use via Bluetooth (as of September 2022). Because of that, the microphone is not usable with a Bluetooth connection.
Voice chat in the “Nintendo Switch online” application
This section describes how to install the “Nintendo Switch Online” application on a smartphone or tablet to make calls with.
First, install the “Nintendo Switch Online” app on your smartphone or tablet from the app store.
Click here to install the Nintendo Switch Online app.
Appstore Googleplay
After installing the application, you will need to login with your Nintendo account. Log in with your account.
After you have logged in, the “Voice Chat” option can be found under the profile menu. If you and the person you want to voice chat with are both playing the same game, the target game will appear in the “Voice Chat” section, and you can start the call from there.
Since voice chat settings on the Splatoon side are also required, we will describe how to set up the game settings later.
Side note, you must also be a Nintendo Switch Online subscriber to use voice chat. On top of that, accounts under the age of 13 cannot use voice chat.
If the app is not running properly, try updating your smartphone or update the “Nintendo Switch Online” app itself. iOS or older versions of Android might not launch properly.
Next we’ll set up Splatoon on the Switch side. To set it up, enter the lobby and select Match with Friend from the lobby menu.
When creating a room, the ON/OFF setting for voice chat will appear. Turning this setting ON will enable voice chat for the game on the “Nintendo Switch Online” application.
If you create a room with voice chat ON and enter each other’s room, the “Nintendo Switch Online” application will initiate voice chat.
Selecting “Start” will enable the call on the application.
Use an external chat service such as Discord or Messenger app
Another option is to use an application that allows voice chat, such as Discord or Messenger app.
Discord is used by many gamers and is the standard for voice chat applications, so we recommend installing it if you want to use voice chat in the future.
How to use Discord and what to do when you cannot hear the other person’s voice or cannot get audio
Check to see if the person is muted or if volume is set to zero.
Discord allows you to mute certain people’s voices or adjust the audio volume, so if you cannot hear a particular person, right-click on the user’s name and check the audio settin
[Splatoon 3] What to do if you can’t join or play with your friends.
In order to play with friends on Splat 3, you need to have them as a friend on your Nintendo account.
Go to My Page on the Switch Home screen and go to “Add Friend” to send a friend request or accept your friend’s request to become a friend.
Cause/Issue (2): Tutorial incomplete/You haven’t reached the rank you need to play
In order to play online with a friend in Splatoon 3, you have to complete the tutorial where you play a single game of Turf War.
Head to the lobby and complete the tutorial.
Keep in mind, Anarchy Battle can’t be played with a friend until you reach Rank 10.
Salmon Run can’t be played with friends unless the training tutorial is completed.
In Salmon Run, you can skip the training by pressing the B button after the first part. If you want to get to playing with friends as soon as possible, feel free to skip the training.
Cause/Issue (3): Your online status is set to private
If you are not seeing your friends on your friends list, check to see if you and your friends’ online statuses are set to display.
You can go about that as follows.
My Page > User Settings > Friend Functions | Friend Settings > Display online status to:
Make sure it is set to “All Friends” or alternatively, you can designate your friend as “Best Friend” and set the setting to “Best Friends.”
Cause/Issue (4): Check your internet status
An Internet connection is required to play with friends online.
Check to make sure your Internet connection is good. Select “System Settings” from the Home screen.
Under “Internet” you can see the status of your Internet connection.
If you aren’t connected, check and confirm your Wi-Fi and Internet settings.
Cause/Issue (5): Restart the game/Switch console
If you still can’t play with friends after trying steps 1 through 3, try restarting the game or Switch console.
You should try restarting at least once for any game error.
Quite often, people who changed their settings but still cannot play have found that after restarting, their settings have been updated and they can play again.
To “Close the software” you can press the Home button → X button.
To restart the Switch, press and hold the power button at the top of the Switch → Power Options → Restart → Press the same button 3 times to start.

The Switch version of Fall Guys went free-to-play on June 21, 2022.
It can be played for free on Switch and other consoles such as PS4, PS5, PC.
Fall Guys allows you to change skins (outfits). There are cute skins, funny skins, and even limited-time collaboration skins!
Change into the skin of your choice and set yourself apart from your friends and other players!
Many players seem to want free skins and learn how to get skins.
The following is a list of ways to obtain skins in Fall Guys with images.
List of ways to get Fall Guys skins!
There are many ways to get Fall Guys skins for free.
Learn how to get free skins and how to change your clothes.
Method 1: Get skins by playing games!
1. Level up your Season Pass
Playing the game (or Shows) will increase the level of your Season Pass.
As you advance through the levels of the Season Pass, you will receive various rewards.
One of these rewards is skins.
On Switch, the Season Pass menu can be found from pressing the R button three times from the home screen.
2. Level up your Crown Rank
A Crown Rank is a rank that increases in level as you complete missions, such as finishing in first place in a game (or Show).
As you advance through the levels of the Crown Rank, you will receive various rewards.
One of these rewards is skins.
Your performance in the game has more of an impact here in comparison to the Season Pass, so keep trying to get to the top!
On the Switch, your Crown Rank can be found by pressing the ZR button on the Season Pass menu.
Method 2: Purchase from the Item Shop (Free)
Skins can be purchased in the game’s “Item Shop”.
However, the in-game currency “Kudos” is required.
“Kudos” is a currency that can be obtained by playing the game, so you can get skins virtually for free.
Skins can also be obtained by using “SHOW-BUCKS”, which is the currency that is usually paid for.
Unlike the skins you can get for free, there is a wide variety of different, rare and collaborative skins.
The Switch version of the Item Store is located in the menu with the cart icon, you can get there by pressing the R button four times from the home screen.

You can change the color, pattern, face, upper and lower body, but only one item can be equipped to each slot.
Coordinate your Bean to your liking!
