    Hello, I am not sure that, can unity do this funtion. for instance, we do a network multiplayer game, in the game, we meet a person,we click it and we want to talk to him, use microphone to just talk with him, not just type words.
    I think unity can do it. but I am not very sure.
    thankyou for answering me.

    You'd need Unity Pro, and possibly this plugin -> AudioInput

    You would need more than that, it seems.

    It can't currently be done out of the box, for sure. You would need to write a plugin for pro... but it would have to go beyond that. Network considerations would be a big issue too.

    I wouldn't say it is impossible... it could be done. But it isn't a trivial task.

    IIRC, Raknet (the networking lib that Unity uses) actually supports voice over network. I am not sure why we don't have support for it in Unity, but one reason might be getting the compression codecs to work on different architectures or something.
