Set Up Keyboard Shortcuts for Quick Sound Playback

Assigning Hotkeys to Your Favorite Sounds

Keyboard shortcuts let you trigger sounds instantly without opening the menu, perfect for live reactions during gameplay.

1. Open the soundboard menu (press J)

2. Find the sound you want to assign a shortcut to

3. Look for a bind or hotkey option next to that sound

4. Press the key combination you want to use

5. Confirm the binding

Using Your Hotkeys

Once set up, simply press your assigned key during gameplay to play the sound through your microphone:

  • The sound plays immediately to all players in voice chat
  • You can assign multiple sounds to different keys
  • Hotkeys work while you're in-game without needing to open any menus
  • Test your shortcuts before using them on a server to ensure they work as expected

Choose keys that don't conflict with your other game controls. Consider using number keys or function keys for sounds you use frequently.
