What it Does
Players can now submit audio evidence when reporting unsportsmanlike behavior, reinforcing their claims of violated community rules. This is especially helpful in addressing harassment through voice chat.
How it Works
With voice reporting enabled, the game captures the last five minutes of voice chat audio on a rolling basis. Keep in mind that only the most recent 5 minutes are reportable, as Fortnite doesn't archive previous recordings. Reported voice recordings are sent to Epic Games for review.
Ensure your Voice Reporting is turned on through game audio settings to allow support access to these files. Selecting the "Off When Possible" option prevents recording while playing with friends who also have this option selected.

For Players Under 18 Years Old
Players under 18 will have Voice Reporting always on as a protective measure, and they won't be able to turn it off. If you're under 18 and prefer not to be recorded, you can mute yourself.

Fortnite is prioritizing safety and promoting a non-toxic gaming environment. Play responsibly and enjoy your gaming experience! Learn more about Voice Reporting here.
