Voice Chat (RTC/EOS Voice)

To use custom channels we need to use a TrustedServer to Create/Generate tokens for our clients to securely join the proper channels. This tutorial will show you all the steps required to get your Voice setup.

Voice Server Credentials​

  • Let’s start by creating the Voice Server Policy, click on the “Add new client policy” button in your Product Settings

Image

  • Give your policy a name and select “TrustedServer” policy type

Image

  • The only permissions we need to give the server in this demonstration is the Voice Permissions, they should be pre-selected but if they are not then select them accordingly.

Voice Client​

  • Next we’re going to create our Client, click on the “Add new client” button

Image

  • Give your client a Name and select the Policy we created in the previous step

Image

  • The finished result!

Implementing Voice in the Game​

Client Ip (Optional)​

  • This step is optional, but it’s a good idea to get the Clients Ip Address so that EOS can choose the best server for the client to connect to, GetPublicIp is a utility function provided by EOSCore

Image

  • Use the Credentials that we created earlier for our VOICE_SERVER, these settings should be set like in the example below when calling “RequestAccessToken“

Image

  • We request our AccessToken from the Epic Web API and wait for a response, after we receive our AccessToken we can use the Token to generate a Room Token for our Client to use to join the channel

  • The last step we finally get to join our room, see the example below:
