Translated with AI from the Russian original.

There are some quite toxic individuals in the Xbox community. While penalizing inappropriate text messages is easy, voice chat is not that simple

Microsoft is testing voice chat moderation on Xbox. Members of the Xbox Insiders program can report players who misuse voice chat.

The feature will allow Xbox users to record a 60-second clip of inappropriate voice chat activity and submit it to moderators.

Xbox moderators will review the materials and make a decision on whether or not to issue a penalty. The reporting player will have 24 hours to submit the report after recording the clip (after which it is deleted).

It is stated that human moderators will review the submissions. Players can provide additional details in the report to explain the reason for the complaint and the context of what happened.

There are no specifics regarding penalties yet.

Testing of voice chat moderation in games for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One will initially roll out in English-speaking markets, such as the US, the UK, and Canada.
