Game chat doesn’t seem to work

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Technical Support
1

Issue Description:
While playing on Xbox or pc I can’t communicate with team members on a mission.
I have my mic set to voice activated. I can play the mission with a friend but we can’t hear each other unless we set up are own Xbox party chat instead of game chat.

Is there some sort of privacy setting as standard or does game chat not work?

Would be great given this game is all about team work
