## Creating a Group

If you would like to only speak to your friends that is always an option. Click "Group" in the main voice chat menu and then "Create Group". Add a name and password and select which type of group you want from the options below:

* **Normal:** Players who are not in your group can't hear you, but you can hear them.
* **Open:** Players who are not in your group can hear you, and you can hear them.
* **Isolated:** Players who are not in your group can't hear you, and you can't hear them.
