# Setting Up Proximity Voice Chat on Your Isle Evrima Server (/docs/the-isle-evrima/proximity-voice)



import { Step, Steps } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/steps';
import { Callout } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/callout';

Every The Isle Evrima server on XGamingServer includes **built-in proximity voice chat**. It runs in the browser — there is **no plugin to install**, no Mumble or TeamSpeak server to run, and nothing for your players to download. Nearby dinosaurs sound louder, distant ones fade out, and each voice comes from the direction the other player is in.

<Callout type="info">
  This is included free on every XGamingServer Isle Evrima plan. It is also available as a standalone service at `voip.xgaming.pro` for servers hosted elsewhere.

Why Not the In-Game / Plugin Route? [#why-not-the-in-game--plugin-route]

Evrima has no reliable built-in server voice, and third-party Isle voice plugins read the game's memory to work out where players are — which breaks every time the game updates and the memory layout shifts. XGVoice instead matches players to your live server roster, so it keeps working across game patches. See [Why Isle voice plugins break after every update](https://xgamingserver.com/blog/) for the full explanation.

Turn It On [#turn-it-on]

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Open the Voice tab in your panel [#open-the-voice-tab-in-your-panel]

    In your [XGamingServer panel](https://panel.xgamingserver.com), open your Isle Evrima server and select the **Voice** tab. You'll see a ready-to-share join link and a join code, for example:

    ```
    https://voip.xgaming.pro/j/76FD-439F
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Share the link with your players [#share-the-link-with-your-players]

    Copy the link (or the QR code) and post it wherever your community lives — your Discord, your server rules channel, or your MOTD. There is nothing to install: it opens in any modern browser on phone or PC.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Players join and allow the microphone [#players-join-and-allow-the-microphone]

    Each player opens the link, types their **in-game name** exactly as it appears in The Isle, and allows microphone access. From then on they hear nearby players louder, distant players quieter, and voices panned to the side the other player is on.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Show the Voice Code in the Server Browser [#show-the-voice-code-in-the-server-browser]

So players see voice is available **before** they even join, you can add the join code to your server name. In the Voice tab, use **Show the code in the server browser** — it appends a tag to your server name:

```
XG Voice Test (Isle) [voice 76FD-439F]
```

Restart the server for the new name to appear in the in-game browser. Use **Remove from name** to take it back off.

Announce In-Game [#announce-in-game]

The Voice tab also has an **Announce in-game** button, which pushes a one-off pop-up to everyone currently on the server (for example, to point new joiners at the voice link). Because it interrupts play with a pop-up, use it sparingly.

How Proximity Works [#how-proximity-works]

| Behaviour         | What players experience                           |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| Distance falloff  | Nearby players are loud; distant players fade out |
| Directional audio | Each voice comes from the side that player is on  |
| Per-server rooms  | Each server has its own isolated voice space      |
| Latency           | Under \~30 ms added on top of your connection     |

Proximity is driven by your server's live player data, not by anything running on the player's PC — which is why it needs no client mod and survives game updates.

Requirements [#requirements]

* A The Isle Evrima server on XGamingServer (voice is included), **or** the standalone service for servers hosted elsewhere.
* Players on a modern browser (desktop or mobile) with a microphone.
* No open ports, plugins, or client installs to manage — the voice traffic runs on XGaming's voice servers, not your game port.
