Gaming Enable or Disable Noise Suppression for Xbox Party Chat on Windows 11 PC

This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off noise suppression during a Xbox Party chat for your account in Windows 11.

The Xbox app for Windows is where you can go to play and manage PC gaming content on your Windows device. Whether you’re an Xbox Game Pass member, or you’ve bought titles from the Microsoft Store, your games await in the app.

Xbox Party Chat allows you to join friends or other players with video or voice chat while playing a game together, watching a show, or hanging out across Xbox consoles, Windows PCs, and mobile devices.

Xbox Party Chat noise suppression is a feature that helps remove noises like gamepad clicks, breathing, and background noise from your parties. If you want to keep some types of background noise like music in your parties, you can also turn noise suppression off.
