Voice chat still down. Where are the guys from Valve that are supposed to be troubleshooting this?

Well, seems its not only problem on beta but also regular version

If you're experiencing issues with Steam voice chat getting stuck on connecting or reconnecting, there are several steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:

Check Steam Server Status:
Ensure that Steam servers are operational. You can check the status on the Steam Status page.

Restart Steam:
Close the Steam client completely and restart it. Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve connectivity issues.

Check Internet Connection:
Ensure that your internet connection is stable. You may want to restart your router or switch to a different network if possible.

Firewall/Antivirus Settings:
Check your firewall and antivirus settings to ensure that they are not blocking Steam or its voice chat functionality. You may need to add Steam to the list of allowed programs.

Check Steam Voice Settings:
In the Steam client, go to "Settings" > "Voice" and ensure that the correct microphone and speakers are selected. You can also try changing the voice transmission mode (automatic, push to talk, or open mic) to see if it resolves the issue.

Update Audio Drivers:
Make sure your audio drivers are up-to-date. Outdated or incompatible drivers can cause issues with voice chat.

Steam Beta Participation:
If you're using the Steam beta client, consider opting out of it. Sometimes, beta versions may have bugs or issues that can affect voice chat.

Use a Different Voice Chat Platform:
If the issue persists, consider using an alternative voice chat platform like Discord or Skype for the time being.

Verify Game Files:
If you're having issues in a specific game, verify the game files through the Steam client. Right-click on the game in your library, go to "Properties," and then select "Verify Integrity of Game Files."

Contact Steam Support:
If none of the above solutions work, you may want to contact Steam Support for assistance. They can provide more specific guidance based on your situation.

Same here, me and my friends can't use steam chat (regular steam, not beta), really annoying as we probably have to find another solution.

It's definately something on steams end and I am not happy about the supports answer to it. They don't seem to give a ♥♥♥♥ to be honest.

Same here, where is the fix?

[Just_A_Cat]

Me and my friends have the same issue, contacted steam support, no use they keep sending me back to the standard troubleshooting page even when I told them I have already done all steps with no avail. Steam has been having many issues recently and they barely try to fix things, it's getting quite frustrating.

Steam is going downhill fast.

Having the same issue :( If anyone finds a solution, please share it with the rest, plz

[Rå Potatis]

Seems like it's working again for me so maybe check your connection again.

Looks like it fixed up for me as well :)
