To chat with your enemies, you must change the chatbox mode to "All." To do this, follow the steps given below.

  • Jump inside any game mode of your choice
  • After loading inside, press Shift + Enter or type /all in team mode to change your chat mode from team to All.
  • To confirm the change, check the starting or prefix tag of the chatbox, which should be titled "All." 
  • If the mode has changed, type in your message & press Enter to send them.

Use the Text-based chat mode to send decisive call-outs that will improve your gameplay experience. Also, refrain from sending an abusive and harassing message to enemies or teammates as Riot games often punish offenders with temporary or permanent bans.

Talking to your party is great and all, but what if you need to trade some smack talk with the enemy team or, heavens forbid, congratulate them on a good game? For that, you need to learn how to chat to all in Valorant. Follow the guide below and you’ll be dropping the obligatory GGWP with ease each game.

You can chat to all in Valorant by pressing Shift Enter instead of just Enter to bring up the chat. You can also type /all at the beginning of a message, but honestly who has time for that? You can tell which chat you’re currently typing into by looking at the words in brackets which precede your message. As you might expect, (Team) is a message to your side only, while (All) goes to the enemy team as well. (Broadcast) refers to the automatic messages played when a player requests a gun or buys one for another player.

It’s worth noting that if you want to say GG to the other side after a game of Valorant, you’ll need to be quick. Games close very quickly and when you’re on the scoreboard, it’s already too late. All the stats are displayed after disconnecting from the game, so wish the other side well before you get dropped out. 

Now that you know how to chat to all in Valorant, make sure you use this powerful knowledge responsibly. Try not to be a dick in the chat, because goodness knows we already have enough of them in online gaming. For more Valorant guides, check out our

Valorant is a first-person, team-based shooter created by Riot Games. Two teams of five take turns between attacking and defending sites across various maps, and a huge part of this is communication. While you will primarily talk to your team to strategise how to secure a win, sometimes talking to the opposing team — be it trash talk or commendations — feels necessary too.

In this guide, we explain how to talk in both team chat and all chat.

How to Talk in Team Chat

Voice communications settings in Valorant.

First and foremost, you can find all of your voice communications settings within your menu. When talking to your team, using voice communications is the quicker way of getting a message across than having to pause to type. The default push-to-talk keybind is 'V', but you can change this in your menu to whichever key suits you.

If you're not a fan of using voice communications for whatever reason, you can also turn them off entirely from your menu and use text in team chat instead. To do this, simply press 'Enter' while in game, and press 'Enter' again to send a message to your teammates.

How to Talk in All Chat

There's no way to communicate with the opposing team via voice communications, for obvious reasons. However, you can talk to them using text in all chat. To access this, there is a simple keyboard shortcut. To communicate with everyone rather than just your team, press 'Enter' and 'Shift' at the same time. Type your message, press 'Enter' again, and all ten players in the lobby will be able to see your message.
