PlayFab Party Voice Pricing (And disabling)

Hi

I'm using Playfab Party for Unity, and I noticed that voice chat is automatically enabled. Is there a function to allow us to disable that if we are not using voice?

In addition, how does the voice pricing work? Are we charged only when users are physically talking to each other and voice is transmitted across the network? Or is it for the duration of them being connected to Party?

In the Party Unity plugin, there is a property called “IsMuted”, you can set this to true to a player when joined, such that this player will not be able to send text or voice communication. Please refer to this document: Sending and receiving chat messages.

Party voice meter is measured in player minutes speaking. When a player is connected to a network and is actively speaking, that player voice activity is measured and metered. For more detail please check this document: PlayFab Party Pricing. You can view the current Party rates on the PlayFab pricing page.
