In-Game Microphone Support

[Silas888]

I'm curious if in-game microphone support will be considered
being added to the roadmap?

I would love this feature too !

The bulk of the original Nividia crew would love this too since they more than likely have the Joystick that has the built in Mic. I have actually had this work by pluggin in a headset into the mic. It actually works but the joystick mic does not.

I'll add my vote to have this in-scope: it would allow me to throw my noisy computer into the basement.

Does anyone know if there has been any movement on this feature request?

It's on the roadmap: LizardByte/roadmap#56

+1 for this, still really want it in 2026. My setup is a Steam Deck streaming from my Windows PC with Moonlight/MoonDeck, and for voice chat I've had to hack together my own thing: ffmpeg on the Deck sending raw PCM over UDP to a little Python receiver on the PC that plays it into VB-Cable, all kicked off through global_prep_cmd. It works, but it's fragile. The default recording device doesn't always get restored after the stream ends, it's another port to open, and none of it is synced with the stream.

Having Sunshine expose a virtual mic on the host and take the client's mic over the existing stream connection would replace all of that. I know there were a few PRs for this (LizardByte/Sunshine#4078, LizardByte/Sunshine#4900, LizardByte/Sunshine#4901) that got closed without merging, and moonlight-stream/moonlight-common-c#123 is open for the protocol side. Is this something you'd be open to if someone picked those back up? Happy to test on Windows with a Deck as the client.
