Open Steam → Settings → Voice → Input Device and select "Echo" from the dropdown. This applies to Steam voice chat and all games that use the Steam voice API.

Configure once in Steam settings, use everywhere. Every game that relies on Steam voice chat — CS2, Dota 2, TF2, Left 4 Dead 2 — automatically uses your converted voice. No per-game configuration.
Real-time audio processing. Your voice arrives instantly in Steam calls and game chat. No communication delay in any game.

Steam connects millions of players. Protect your voice identity when playing with strangers in public matchmaking. All processing is 100% local.
Yes, completely free during the beta. Works with all Steam games.
It works with any game that uses Steam voice chat (CS2, Dota 2, TF2, etc.). Games that use their own voice system (like Valorant) need separate configuration — see our specific game pages for instructions.
