The talk function works if a player taps and holds the talk button. Only one player may talk at any one time. The talk option will only be available if the device owner said "Yes" when asked, at time of installing, whether they allow Outsmarted app to have access to audio. Many players find for remote games that it works best to use a separate device for a video call or group WhatsApp call before starting the game, to make talking and feeling part of things easier!
