The voice commands are a communication feature that consists in pre-defined calls, usually used to quickly communicate with the team or call for help. When used, they are spoken in the voice of the player class, and may also include a hand gesture (not visible to players themselves). The voice commands are divided into three separate menus (default: Z, X, and C). Some - but not all - of the commands are also printed on-screen alongside typed messages.
Due to its importance and universal nature, the "Medic!" call by default has its own separate keybind (default: E). Teammates (and disguised Spies) calling for healing have a speech bubble with a red cross appear over their heads. When playing as a Medic, these bubbles are additionally visible through walls and have an on-screen indicator pointing to the player of origin when it is not in front of the Medic player.
There are calls that are context-sensitive:
- The "Help!" call: If the player using it is standing on an enemy control point or pushing a Payload cart, they request help with capturing the point or cart. If the player using it is standing on a team-owned control point, they request help in defending the point.
- The "Spy!" call: Pointing at a character and using the "Spy!" command results in the character currently being played calling the target a Spy (unless playing as Pyro). This works on players of both teams, and regardless to whether that character is actually a Spy.
- The "Medic!" call is context-sensitive for the Scout, Soldier, Heavy, Engineer, Sniper, and Spy: Pointing at the Medic and using the "Medic!" command as any of these classes results in the character asking the Medic to follow the player.
- The "Battle Cry" call: Pointing at an enemy and using the "Battle Cry" command with a certain weapon out results in the character being played speaking lines similar to the lines spoken when making a duel with another player, as well as some unique lines which can only be heard by this command.
Voice commands used by disguised Spies behave differently: to the Spy himself and to the enemy team, these commands sound as the disguised class; to teammates, the Spy sounds normal.
As of July 3, 2020 Patch, in order to use voice commands in Valve official servers, a player must have a premium account and a non-limited user account on Steam.
