All voice chat settings are located in the game's audio menu. Access the options menu (either in-game or from the main menu), then navigate to the third tab from the right. Scroll down slightly to find the Voice Chat settings. You'll have three options: Enable, Disable, and Push-to-Talk. "Enable" keeps voice chat always on; "Disable" turns it off completely; and "Push-to-Talk" activates voice chat only when you press a designated key (keyboard only).
Further options control voice chat volume and auto-toggling. Auto-toggle prioritizes voice chat with either quest members (those currently in your hunting party), link party members (those in a persistent group), or disables automatic switching. For most players, prioritizing quest members will be the most useful setting. This is particularly handy if assisting someone through the story, as you'll often wait during cutscenes.
That covers in-game voice chat in Monster Hunter Wilds. While the audio quality isn't as high as dedicated apps, the in-game option is convenient, especially for cross-platform play.
