Live subtitles for team voice chat in competitive games

To read your teammates while gaming, first check which voices reach the caption tool and whether you can read them without losing track of the game. A visible overlay does not prove that it is capturing the right voice chat.

Before joining a match

1. Check your teammates’ voices. Listen to a sentence coming from Discord and check whether it appears in the captions. Distinguish this check from speaking into your microphone. The Discord live captions setup guide explains the Windows and Aurora audio routes.
2. Start without music or game effects. Repeat the check after adding game audio. Mixing voices, music and effects can reduce transcription quality. If a sentence becomes unclear, check it again with fewer background sounds.
3. Check readability over the game. Adjust Aurora’s overlay position, font size and background without covering the map, crosshair or alerts you use. Check visibility and click behavior with your game before a long session.
4. Check the language you need. Note the language of the voices and the language you want to read. Review Aurora’s languages and requirements before buying and check that pair in your chosen preset. For captions in the same language, consult the options explained in the Discord guide.

What to expect from captions

Simultaneous voices can produce omissions or mixed words. The Discord guide explains Windows and Aurora caption options, together with their requirements and limitations. Check your own setup before treating the result as suitable for your match.

For team coordination, also agree on visual signals or short messages. Treat captions as assistance and confirm any important callout that was unclear.
