My clan has recently had a hearing-impaired PS player join. They use in-game text chat only. The clan has players from PS, XBox, and pc.
I've been able to find conflicting information about whether a keyboard only (no mouse) is allowed for console players to use for in-game text chat. Some sources say this is okay. Others say it isn't.
I found an official Bungie response from several years ago (2021, I think) that was replying that mouse [u]and[/u] keyboard were not supported. I was not able to find anything about keyboard only.
I don't know if there are apps available to install on a console that are supported in D2. Something like voice-to-text converters?
Any firm answers would he helpful.
See you starside!
It's supported.
[quote]At Cross Play launch, text chat will still be available on Steam. From launch through The Witch Queen, we'll add text chat support across the console [i]platforms. We'll start with displaying text, so that console players can at least see what their PC friends are talking about. And then we will add USB keyboard support, so that everyone can join in. Note: [b]USB keyboards on consoles will only be for chat and will not be able to control your character[/b].[/i]
